I'd be willing to bet my pointer arithmetic that most of those C jobs are actually C++ jobs. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a non-kernel-space program written in vanilla C? And no, GTK apps don't count. :)
Most recruiters and HR minions don't seem to know the difference between C and C++ anyway, let alone any other languages. Today I got an email from a recruiter for a Python job, saying that C# and C++ experience could be substituted for Python experience because the syntax is, quote, "very similar."
