This is one of Greg's favorite arguments. I question whether you can
draw any valid conclusions on this subject by studying classified ads.
According to one study conducted in a "typical" large and small
American city (San Francisco and Salt Lake City), 75-85% of the
employers did not hire *any* employees through want ads during an
*entire year*.
I personally don't recall ever getting a job through classified ads,
including one that involved Ada programming. How many programmers do
you know who got their job via a classified ad? How did you get your
job?
