Linux jobs increasing, outsourcing showing signs of weakness

Linux jobs increasing, outsourcing showing signs of weakness Linux IT has an interview with David Foote of Foote Partners. In the interview David talks about how Linux and open Source has been one of the hottest skills in demand during the last 12 months.

Also noted during the interview David points out that the supply of people trained in Linux has been catching up to the demand, The good news is that the demand for Linux skills has continued increasing. Now if I can just get more of these jobs to come to the Chicago land area I can look at getting a better job where I actually am able to work with what I write about.

A final note that David makes is that he believes certification is the best argument for keeping or hiring someone.
