The rating as states is based on search engines. At the beginning of classes students are searching for sites to find help. After a month most have them the links and are no longer searching. So, the rating drops. A better check will be after the final exam and before the next class begins. And most working programmers including Ada programmers will search privately before deciding to change job. If they find one then the family finds out as the boss receive his 2-week notice. Others use local or national paid job services which TIOBE does not have access to. And a small number will use word of mouth, from friend, which TIOBE will never have access to. Other use "Hotjob", "monster", "careerbuilder", or etc. which searches decreases at the beginning though the mid of the school term but increase at the end as the grads start to become a honest tax payer. So, I would not hold too much stock in TIOBE rating system, says.
