Who does this kind of survey !!! The programmer get out dated as fast as the s/w tools itself. The reason there is shortage is, too much specilization. It is like having so many size of nuts and bolts but they just don't fit. Sales, marketting, management move from industry to industry, but techies are tied to the tools.
The most tragic is there is n differnce between 5 years exp and 50 years hard working guy. So the experience doesn't add, so my conclusion is "being techie" is a job not a career.

Too bad, I don't see any solution to this.
