This, and the absence of .NET technologies from the list (as noted elsewhere in the thread) makes me take this whole article with a large grain of salt.

Linkedin shows the following

    US: 77,000
    European Economic Area: 58,000
    India: 51,000
    China: 48,000(probably undercounted)
    UK: 9,000
    Canada: 7,000
    Brazil: 6,000
    Mexico: 4,000
    Aus & NZ: 2,000
    Eastern Africa: 300
    Western Africa: 500
    Southern Africa: 600
    Northern Africa: 1,000

    Within europe:
    Nordics: 3,000
    Germany: 15,000
    France: 8,000
    Italy: 3,000
    Poland: 5,000
    Romania: 2,000

1) US, Europe, China, India seem to be doing way better than the rest of the world

2) Germany still tops the charts in europe

3) China is probably undercounted, so I wonder if the real number is even higher than US. Would love to hear from people more familiar with chinese job market.

4) I wish Africa was doing better given the economic challenges
