Mike, This number reflects accurately the CF market penetration in relation to the other technologies. I wouldn't take it as a bad sign - just what I would expect.

Wow. Whether you meant to or not you just made my point. Not about CA, but about the dismal state of CF employment. Total CF jobs: 2,382 Total PHP jobs: 21,015 Total .net jobs: 115,283 Total ruby jobs: 11,309 Total python jobs: 17,547 In each of the above (except ruby) there's more jobs in the +100K range than the entire number of CF jobs. That speaks volumes... and I'm a CF guy, have been for 13+ years. I wish it weren't so, but it is.
