Where are the jobs?

Where are the jobs?

[Eric Christiansen]

Hi,

    Been scanning the misc.jobs.offered group for about a year now,
and I've only found about 5 job postings for Ada programmers.  So,
as the subject says, where are the jobs?  Is it just a case of most of
these jobs are passed "word of mouth", or is it that there really isn't a
market out there?

Suddenly the piano music stops, the bartender ducks behind the bar
and the other cowboys back away slowly from the stranger. At a nearby 
poker table, the dude from srctran slowly turns around...

  I was previously unaware of misc.jobs.offered.  I had to hire several
Ada-literate software engineers, so I did unbelievably uncreative things
like advertising in the Washington Post.  I guess if I were some sort of
C-hacking dwebe, I would have been aware of misc.jobs.offered.

In the current (Sep 14) issue of Contract Employment Weekly there are 41 Software Engineering
jobs listed in the summary of which  6 have Ada referenced.

Since I am contract I always check to see what work is available.

I have received multiple messages requesting subsctiption information.
I have no involvement with CE Weekly except as a subscriber.

The current (Sep 21) issue contains 38 software engineering jobs in the summary
of which 3 have references to Ada.  Now and then I even see JOVIAL jobs!
