March 2010 Groovy - Grails Job Market

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.

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. Please comment on this blog post with any suggestions you may have.
