there might be more openings...but there also might be more developers to fill those openings (which isn't necessarily a bad thing...)
as far as the number of CF openings...i was recently in the job market and was pretty pleasantly surprised. Had a few interviews in FL (where I was living at the time), a phone interview with a company in CT, applied to a job in DC, and interviewed with/accepted a job in CA (oh yeah, and emailed a guy in Omaha) :) and the fact of the matter is i wasn't even looking too terribly hard (I got -very- lucky in that the first job I applied to was the one I really wanted...so I checked out a few other places just so as to not put all my eggs into one proverbial basket). If I really started sending out resumes and scouring the job boards, I'm sure I would have had a lot more opportunities available to me (I did see quite a few in NC as well as a few other locations that I didn't apply to). basically...i felt as tho I had my choice as to where in the US I wanted to live, and still be able to work with CF. so there may very well be more Java/.NET openings...but the ratio of developer to available opening has to play a factor as well.
