Not from where we sit. We are a vendor and the lack of skills (and
interest, which is what you asked about) has grown inexorably for
more than a decade now. We see it everywhere, vendors and IT shops
alike. It makes our job increasingly difficult. Just to select an
obvious example from the many available, no one under age 45 seems to
know anything at all about mainframe assembler, and even that's
pushing it. The youngest one I know personally is about 48 or 49.
