Check the archives for the moaning and groaning about layoffs, mainframe power-downs, and the lack of openings/opportunities.
I don't believe it's all doom and gloom but any US company that can't find domestic sysprogs is either not looking very hard or is offering $36,000/year. Unless you have contacts and very specific skills that you know are in demand (more specific than general MVS sysprog) I would look elsewhere.

How is it in USA? Is there enough demand for companies to sponsor H1B visa for sysprogs? To my knowledge there isn't enough demand in Europe for them to sponsor sysprogs who don't have work visa.
