April 2010 Groovy - Grails Job Market

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