Evan on Engineering Software

Googling is not an exact science, and neither, it seems, is using www.indeed.com.  Last week I ran some charts on the number of jobs being offered for various CAD products -- but I failed to recognize that when I entered "solid works" the site also returned "solid work" -- and, hence, a bunch of results that included phrases such as "solid work experience" and "solid work ethic."

Oh well... I've said that I'm happy to admit when I make a mistake (know many CAD company executives that can say that?)

Here's a corrected chart. (Note that I've edited the labels, to just show the product names.) If you want to see the full search parameters, just go here.

(Note to the person from PTC who posts anonymous comments on my blog: you're allowed to brag, if you want.)

(And yet another note.  Indeed.com's job trends responds differently to search parameters than their main site.  The above graph has been updated, to show more accurate results, after I've fooled around way to much trying to figure out the proper search parameters.)
