Groovy Job Availability Climbs Significantly
Submitted by Jason Weden on Wed, 2008/02/13 - 9:08pm.
Granted I'm painting with broad brushstrokes here, but here are two job websites which amalgamate job listings from multiple other websites on the net. You can use them to do trend analysis. Here are graphs of the trends for the "java" keyword coupled with the "groovy" keyword in job listings.

You could also add the Grails job trends as well?

It's kind of sad that AppFuse is more popular - don't you think? ;-)

Honestly, these "percentage growth" graphs in relative terms are almost as useful as Alexa data! Isthere a reasonable way to get absolute values in these various graphs?
AppFuse bumps along at a flat ZERO some months, then jets up suddenly, which might suggest a small magnitude in absolute terms. The Groovy curve never drops so low, so it may be in a different scale.
If anyone is a frequenter of these job index sites, please paste in some graphs that help us compare apples to apples.
