Are There More Java Jobs Than .NET Jobs?
US Job Market for Developers (Informally) Examined

I don't view this informal querying of a job aggregator to be the end-all absolute truth, nor do I really view it as a scientifically sound study, but I wanted just to make public last week the results of an job-market survey I compiled recently using data from indeed.com (an aggregator for job sites).

I found it interesting that I was able to search a large percentage of the jobs available in the US and wanted to compare some various technology related keywords.

The results, arranged by programming languages and platform architectures, were as follows:

  1. Java (-barista -coffee) 53,618
  2. .NET 47,651
  3. C++ 35,322
  4. Perl 19,432
  5. Visual Basic (or vb -visual basic and -visualbasic) 18,508
  6. C# 14,319
  7. ASP (asp -asp.net -.net) 12,100
  8. C programmer (and c developer -programmer) 11,711
  9. Cobol 6,713
  10. Flash 6,353
  11. ASP.NET (-asp) 5,644
  12. PHP 4,194
  13. ColdFusion (and cold fusion -coldfusion) 3,360
  14. Delphi 1,122 
Here too is a set of results arranged by OS:
  1. Windows (-glass -frame -sunroom -sunroof -tint -replacement -retrofit) 87,790
  2. Unix 63,524
  3. Linux 24,193
  4. Solaris 19,263
  5. AIX 9,291
  6. Hpux (and hp-ux -hpux) 5,134
  7. Irix 540
  8. FreeBSD 433
  9. SCO 414
There are more Linux jobs open now than Solaris jobs. I suppose there's a reason Sun is working hard to try and gain back customers that are bleeding off to Linux based solutions. Though it's certainly cost-effective to take the Linux & Intel path, there will always be a market for 'big iron' in one way or another think despite its shrinkage in the last few years.
