Another Job Statistics View

Sunday May 6, 2007

Back in July last year, when I was first started writing for the About C, C++ website I did a survey of programming jobs in the top five US cities and London (UK) where I live and work. Here is an update of that survey taken from the same job agencies.

	C++	C#	Java
New York	184	150	264
Los Angeles	150	148	196
Chicago	94	99	141
Houston	60	57	77
Philadelphia	97	73	119
London, UK	201	230	380
Total	786	757	1177

This shows a slight increase of C# compared to C++ but Java still has the edge in terms of jobs. All three job counts are down compared to July. However I wouldn't read too much into it. There is enormous variation in job adverts at different times of years.

See you soon!
