The Tiobe Index shows a drop in the rating, though it held steady in rank. Dice and Grailsjobs both showed increases, while Indeed showed a drop in all three categories, perhaps reflecting a regression to mean after two months of very solid increases.

This is a non-scientific survey. It is meant to give the interested reader a general idea of trends within the GR8 technologies job market. Results from keyword searches of job boards should be considered carefully as the results represent the number jobs containing the keyword in the description. The numbers from GrailsJobs represent the total number postings by month. The numbers from Tiobe are pulled from the survey published this month. The numbers from Dice and Indeed represent the results of keyword searches as of the day this survey was published. Suggestions of other sources of job market information are always welcome.

Dice, Indeed and Grails Jobs all showed strong growth over the previous month, while the Tiobe index, both the rating and rank, fell.

Note that after the GR8 in the US conference, I am going to devote more time to improving this regular posting, pulling in more sources, fully automating it, and, eventually, providing year over year and other comparisons. Suggestions are welcome.

The trend looks positive again this month, acheiving the highest rating at Tiobe since I've begun tracking (though not the highest rank), and the highest number of postings in all three categories at Indeed. Dice showed gains across all three categories, though did not reach new heights. Grailsjobs is the outlier with the number of postings remaining flat.

The trends are up this month for Tiobe, Dice and Indeed. Grails Jobs showed a slight loss. The Tiobe rating is at the highest level it has ever been since I've begun tracking it. The rank (position) is not, however. After two straight months of declines across all keyword searches on Dice and Indeed, they both showed gains across all keyword searches.

Note that I have slightly altered the way the data is presented. For periods where there was no data, as in the Tiobe numbers from October, I've used zero for the relevant numbers. I felt this was a little better when looking at the month to month changes. I also ignored the fact that there is a several month gap in the Dice and Indeed data, thus comparing July numbers to February numbers. This will correct itself in a few more months. Finally, I've set the negative changes to red, hopefully making upturns and downturns easier to spot.
