It's just that the hiring bosses think so because they are fixated at the view that non-management personals should be payed much less than management personals. In a rational world there wouldn't at the same time have people saying that it's hard to get skilled mainframe personal and have many skilled mainframe sysprogs looking for work (and not getting any). If you really need, e g, a skilled sysprog it's no problem to get one: just put some more money on the pay - and do a decent research to get the right person. But CIOs today isn't interested as they are constantly looking at the next step in their careers.
