I tried to check your claim by searching for C# jobs.  

Dice.com gave me 865 entries in my area alone -- but that included all 
the C and C++ job listings, and IDK if there were any C# jobs 
in there at all.  Looks like a good opportunity for an Ada programmer
to write a new search routine for Dice.Com. 

Monster.Com gave me no jobs.  It said that it was expecting a closing
parenthesis.  I hope it wasn't expecting one from me, since I only
sent it C#, not any opening parenthesis. But just for fun, I asked 
Monster.Com for C#) jobs, (C#) jobs, and C#)))))))))) jobs.  It said it 
was still expecting a closing parenthesis. Looks like a good
opportunity  for an Ada programmer to write a new search routine for
Monster.Com. 

HotJobs.Com gave me over 1000 jobs in my area.  Looks like every
job posting that includes the letter C.  Looks like a good opportunity 
for an Ada programmer to write a new search routine for Monster.Com. 

Next I tried www.Search.ComputerJobs.Com.  It told me that 'It appears
that your search string "c#" contains one or more ignored words.'
Looks like a good opportunity for an Ada programmer to write a new
search routine for www.Search.Computerjobs.Com.  

Last chance:  Headhunter.Net.  It says 'Keyword phrase C#.  There seems
to be a problem with your keywords.'  Looks like a good opportunity for
an Ada programmer to write a new search routine for  Headhunter.Net.  

Bottom line:  There may or may not be any jobs.  If there are any jobs,
nobody knows about them because they are impossible to find, and 
prospective employers may be having some trouble attracting talent 
through the usual channels.
