For the past couple of years, I have actively looked at seattle.craigslist.org's internet engineers and web /info design job postings. I have noticed a slow but steady increase in the number of postings for PHP jobs. I must mention that I think there are more job postings in general, but the ratio of job postings to job postings for PHP programmers appears to be on the rise. This seems especially true in the last couple of months.


You see, in the hometown of Microsoft, a job posting with the title of "web Developer" on seattle.craigslist.org used to be synonomous with an ASP/.NET developer. If you were looking for a PHP developer, you put it in the title... But this fact of life isn't holding true anymore. Admittedly, a lot of the new job postings seem to be for "the next big" web 2.0 start-ups, but there are also a good deal of PHP jobs for established companies. And the pay for most of the jobs is reasonable. Too bad I have my own company and am not looking for employment anymore. I never seem to time things right...
