An excerpt:
A snapshot of Dice.com's IT job database on April 15
turned up almost 34,000 listings mentioning Apache,
Linux, Perl, or Sendmail. As in the past, we found
that knowing Perl will get you a job: more than 65%
of the jobs list Perl as a required skill. More than
18% of the jobs involve Linux. [...]
:-)
A similar study involving Java would be interesting.
[time passes]
Search for 'Perl': Jobs 1-25 of 18875 matching your query
Search for 'Java': Jobs 1-25 of 50959 matching your query
Search for '"Visual Basic" VB': Jobs 1-25 of 20187 matching your query
202,786 jobs in their databse.
April 15th's 65% figure works out to ~22,000 Perl jobs back then.
Looks like 3125 Perl programmers have found work in the last 3.5
months. :-)
