Here in the SE, the developer market is hot right now. If you speak a few (computer) languages or SQL, fluently, you're a hot commodity. Like pre-Y2K hot. (In '98 and '99, I had headhunters chasing me through parking lots. I felt like a rock star. :-) )

Infrastructure is medicore. Not great, but there is a little movement. Lots of contract work, not much for permanent positions.

The past few weeks, I've heard a lot of requests for Unix people. Dunno what's moving that market, I'd think that it was pretty static.

I remember ‘98-’99. Good times for COBOL cowboys. :-)

I see openings in the southeast all the time. The problem is, pay scales are too low. In one case, I had someone offering $20 per hour, with no benefits.

You couldn't be more correct.

Yep! Mediocre wages, no benefits. Thank you Obama!
