Hiring managers want IT pros with Linux skills and they're willing to
pay handsomely.
The 2014 Linux Jobs Report, produced by Dice.com and The Linux
Foundation, finds a shortage of Linux pros at the same time there's an
increased demand for those skills.
"This year’s report shows there is unlimited career advancement for
developers and systems administrators who contribute to and seek out
learning opportunities for Linux," notes Jim Zemlin, executive director
at The Linux Foundation. "The future is a bright one for professionals
who know Linux. "

describing Linux as a core part of the business. These professionals are
working on projects tightly aligned with a future vision of what
enterprises look like. "

77% of hiring managers have "hiring Linux talent" on their priority
list for 2014, up from 70% last year.
46% of hiring managers intend to beef up Linux recruiting.
93% of organizations plan to hire Linux talent in the next six

75% of Linux pros reported they received at least one call from a
