Hi, I am a technical recruiter that has been faced with the challenging task of finding extremely talented workers like yourselves for my company's clients throughout the US.
I do apologize for the misspelling in my previous email and if I offended anyone by using this listserv as a resource for my recruiting efforts. I am sorry. I would like the opportunity to find out from experts in the field like yourselves, what you feel the job market should be offering for individuals with MVS - Z/OS skills?

Perhaps I have an unusual (and unpopular) opinion, but I've always found systems programming to be pretty well paying. It probably depends on location, etc. It probably also depends on whether the companies are trying to keep the mainframes (and a staff to support them) or trying to get rid of them. Availability is the biggest issue now. Unavailable jobs really don't pay well.
