From the above:
--begin quoted text:
In a 2007 Micro Focus survey of its customers, more than 75% of CIOs
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).
Looking around and doing a bit of guessing about ages, our Cobol programmers
fall in the following age groups:
30's - 5
40's - 8
50's - 4
60's - 2
Something interesting to note is that nine of us were in other areas of the
company prior to joining the programming department. All nine fall in to
the under-fifty group.
