I read with interest the career central section of News & Analysis in the July 10 issue, as well as the article at eWEEK.com, “Beyond the Valley: 10 Blooming U.S. Cities for Tech,” both of which quote statistics from the Dice.com job site.
I have researched many of the postings on Dice, and can attest that a simple count of postings does not reflect the true situation. Most of the postings are placed by recruiters, and there can easily be anywhere from five to 10 (or more) different recruiting firms placing posts regarding the same position.
