Indeed used to have craigslist jobs, but I believe CL made Indeed stop indexing them. craigslist, despite most other web companies being open, are not terribly cordial about people reusing their data in other ways. I’ve seen them shut off some really cool CL related projects time and time again.

If it is so, I have a suggestion for you. I am a great fan of your site and it would be great if indeed search results show jobs posted on craigslist as well. Thanks Ranjeeth Rony,

It shows Windows/.NET and Java roughly splitting the market, with "mainframe platform" coming in third (maybe this is why you see so many COBOL jobs?). ColdFusion is grouped with "other", but shows only 1% in the detailed breakdown. On page 13 it shows Windows and UNIX dominating the operating system choice for "mission critical" applications, with Linux at 13%, fourth behind "zSeries" (AS/400?).
