I don't think there is shortages in systems programmers yet. I know the last 4 years, there has been maybe 3 or 4 jobs open in the Milwaukee area, out of I figure about 10 z/OS shops. Each opening had plenty of applicants, as far as I can figure.
In 5 to 10 years, that could all change, but by then I'll be retired and won't care! There probably are shortages in some areas, and places that most people don't want to move to. -- Eric Bielefeld Systems Programmer ---- Lindy Mayfield <lindy.mayfi...@ssf.sas.com> wrote: > I say heavily customized but that's only a few of my customers.
