>From "Software News", 3/84:
ADA WORTH MORE IN SALARY, JOB ADVANCEMENT POTENTIAL
"Knowledge of the Ada language could raise programmers' salaries by as much
as 20% while dramatically increasing their opportunities for employment,
according to an industry newsletter "Ada Data".
Publisned by International Resource Development, Inc., the newsletter says
the imminent availability of compilers will create an Ada boom that will
put the Ada-educated programmer in the driver's seat.
A free copy of the February issue of Ada Data analyzing its effects on the
programming community is available from IRD, 30 High St., Norwalk CT 06851."
Didn't we hear the same thing about Pascal in the late 70's and PL/I in the
late 60's?

.... and isn't the 20% increase in salary value for programmers who usually work in COBOL !! I doubt if knowledge of ada will boost a good C programmers value by 20% Ken Cochran hou5d!kwmc

Thank you for posting this excellent article. Maybe I can get my boss to give me two pieces of stale bread instead of just one! Richard Kaufmann TeleSoft
