Reading this first sentence, it sounds dubious since it
cites no reliable source.

Ah and now we see that indeed the source of information
is completely useless. These listings give no idea of
what real pay levels look like in the general industry.
Anyone who believes they do is operating under severe
misconceptions!

There are many Ada programmers making very good salaries,
and many C and C++ programmers not making much at all. As
usual things depend on skills and requirements. Clearly
your Ada skills did not qualify you for the high paying
Ada jobs. It is certainly the case that really skilled
Ada programmers can do well for themselves these days!
