Why is BASIC not on the list?
SOURCE:
This year the top three trends are:
1. Job seekers love their mobile devices
People looking for jobs are using their iPads and iPhones more than ever. A majority of visitors to the Kavaliro site use Apple iPhones, followed by iPads. Getting to the job first allows applicants a better shot at having their resume seen by hiring managers.
2. Robotic and .NET skills are in high demand
During the hiring process, employers generally look for job seekers with good communication and technical skills. .NET qualifications topped the list in 2011, but this past year we found another highly desirable skill as well. In the IT, engineering, healthcare and medical device repair industries, recruiters are hunting for candidates with robotics skills. Robotics engineer is our hot job in this edition of our handbook.
3. The hottest jobs command high salaries
According to the CareerBuilder Talent Compensation Report, a survey of 1,000 .NET developers and employers across the country revealed an average annual salary of $85,863, with top salaries reaching well into the six figures. Yet despite the lofty compensation on the table, employers continue to report difficulties in hiring and retaining top .NET Developer talent in the midst of unprecedented demand for these services. Much of that demand is driven by the explosion of web-based services and applications, as more and more business is conducted via computer systems.
There will always be COBOL. ;-)
Uh...because no serious work is done in BASIC to any meaningful degree.
Or did you forget the /sarc ?
I lost my dos 3.1 disk with the interpreter.
LOL! How ‘bout Cobol? :)
