>From "Software News", 3/84:

         ADA WORTH MORE IN SALARY, JOB ADVANCEMENT POTENTIAL
  
  "Knowledge of the Ada language could raise programmers' salaries by as much
  as 20% while dramatically increasing their opportunities for employment,
  according to an industry newsletter "Ada Data".
  
  Publisned by International Resource Development, Inc., the newsletter says
  the imminent availability of compilers will create an Ada boom that will
  put the Ada-educated programmer in the driver's seat.
  
  A free copy of the February issue of Ada Data analyzing its effects on the
  programming community is available from IRD, 30 High St., Norwalk CT 06851."

Didn't we hear the same thing about Pascal in the late 70's and PL/I in the
late 60's?

.... and isn't the 20% increase in salary value for programmers who
usually work in COBOL !!
	I doubt if knowledge of ada will boost a good C programmers
value by 20%

Thank you for posting this excellent article.  Maybe I can get my
boss to give me two pieces of stale bread instead of just one!
