I have asked myself the same question. My suspicion: because they are unwilling or unable to relocate to where the jobs are, or they want moving & living expenses paid by an unwilling prospective employer. I hope it's not because they don't use online services like monster.com where 328 "mainframe system programmer" jobs are listed (some of which are not really sysprog jobs). Add the results of "mainframe system administrator" and the number rises. Unfortunately the employers don't consistently use the same phrase for the same job.
