As an individual human being looking for a framework he can commit to so he has a paycheck to do what he finds meaningful, I wouldn't call it a factor.
As a parlor game, yeah, I think that is a pretty good indicator of what will survive. If industry goes in a direction (i.e. more than just MS or Oracle) the devs follow. Sometimes the other way around, but either way I believe what shows up on the jobs boards survives. If a company is dangling money/positions they have skin in the game, and while they can change that its a better indicator than, well, internet talk.
More seriously, the reason why I pay more attention to the boards (although it is hard to get an aggregate view, but a guy at Dice told me he was open to talking about ways to get that information and I never got around to it... a big business opportunity by the way) than TIOBE/PYPL is not because they indicate what framework will survive but a loose guess about how *I* will survive coupled to that framework as a developer looking for work to feed my kids. And Dice sometimes indicates what you can get paid doing it. It might not be the best way for gauging demand, though.
King David just poked his head in my cubicle and told me census-taking leads to ruin (if you don't believe that, I can show you my poetic license). Seriously though, you never know when lightning might strike, as Bill Perish once said.
The democrats during the civil war wanted a certain group of people (white, landing owning elites) to get free stuff (labor). Today's democrats are the same redistributionists with a bias to ethnicity (albeit a different ethnicity).
The republican party has generally targetted "you make what you earn and cut the shenanigans".
Also, today's South is full of Yankees who wanted a cheap place to live and earn their keep. See the 2010 census results, and you can find the urban/liberal states losing reps to the southern (newly conservative) states.
This reminds me of the approach Richard Nixon took when the federal government applied fixed prices to goods. The result: a major supply failure. Few wanted to compete in the artificial/centralized economy. The economy tanked, and the government backed off.
The same thing can be applied to the *labor* market, and has in places like the socialist countries of Europe or the (deprecated) communist countries of yore, and the same results occur except that instead of supply going to zero, demand did (since in that case the government biased to the workers, per Marx) in the socialist countries. In communist countries, historically every could get a job, but it was terrible by US standards (and therefore little demand).
Then the centralizers usually say, "Ah, but quality is a lie made up by the beourgeouise to inflict us with subjective idealism!" Sure, quality is perfectly subjective. That is what is so great about it. It is a sheer value comparison.
That's why folks would rather emmigrate to the US than the locked down places. The US is a *good* place to live and the centrally planned places with superficial metrics attesting to equality (but everyone has less wealth) are bad places to live.
80%+ of economists work for the government. That means they are financially behooved to promote centralized money policy.
Deflation caused by currency loss is exceptionally low. Think about it. How much money do people want to throw away? How many people are in this guy's shoes. Basically nobody.
So if you can make 0.01% of your money by stashing it in your wallet you are losing money compared to what you would have investing it. Most people would rather make the higher returns (again, because people (rich or poor) tend to not want to lose money).
And they shouldn't feel bad about not wanting to lose money!

I'll have to check on that. Not looking likely :)
As a system architect, that's something to weigh.

Sure, I understand why they fired him.
The issue is the administration's own thinks there's a cover up.
Whatever shows up (significantly) on the hiring boards.
This would be fixed if we didn't pay government workers not to come to work!
What? Clinton did nothing after Yemen. How was he obsessed with Bin Laden?
During the Clinton years Bin Laden referred to America as a "paper tiger".
To the contrary.

Worry implies a person who is worrying.
I hate it when people talk about worry like it's a nebulous, amorphous thing that just sort of sneaks up on this.
You mean successful workers in a centralised economy don't think they're getting paid enough?

Academic strength is not what made the US a superpower.
>> ... the folks responsible for this mess ...
You mean the D's who created this whole mess?
You mean Obama?
Oh, and borrowing obscene amounts of money has nothing to do with that.
...
I remember candidate Obama claiming it did

I hold Obama and his Chicago thugs personally responsible.
If anyone has dirt on the Republicans, I will vote against them too!
infrastructure apparently == bread + circuses
Then why are people not scrambling to leave American for your country?
The party that is taking and giving nothing in return is the government.
The republicans were not democratically elected?
Doesn't Congress have the right to determine what gets funded?
The imaginary private sector "problems" make the news on slashdot ...
The real public sector problems are swept under the rug.
Referring to ice as "the wet stuff" ...
I call shenanigans.
All a high vote means on slash dot is that you accept the political views of those who mod points based on political views.
The article even mentions the political (i.e. liberal) skew.
Haiti is a French-speaking country that was economically crippled because it instituted (among other thigs) export taxes.
Most free market people agree import taxes are bad (see protectionism), but export taxes all kinds of crazy.
Export taxes say, "Don't buy anything from us!". And the money goes elsewhere.
I'm glad the slashdot athiest echo chamber didn't design humans. They would have been waaay, over engineer.
With separate pipes for eating an breathing. Really? My 3 month old son has figured out what the BS's and MS's can't figure out here.
No apologies for interrupting the superficial criticisms of the Almighty here.
