From the above:
--begin quoted text:
In a 2007 Micro Focus survey of its customers, more than 75% of CIOs said
they would need more Cobol programmers over the next five years, and 73%
were already having a hard time finding trained Cobol professionals.
--end quoted text
Never mind that Micro Focus is looking to sell various products... note,
once again, the 'already having a hard time finding trained Cobol
professionals'.
At what rate (or range of rates)?
Where I work (yes someone gave me a job) they can not get Cobol
programmers under the age of 50 (I am the youngest at 50).
Have they tried doubling their rates? Have they offered programmers in
other languages training in COBOL... with a bonus and pay-rise upon
completion of the course so they don't get hired away?
