  I'm not sure that adds much. How do you normalize for growth (or not) in the market, population, etc.? Here's the corresponding relative chart: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=programmer%2C+developer&l=&relative=1 http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=programmer%2C+developer&#3... So demand for programmers is down 25%, but developers are up 25%?

    My guess is the trend has been to call programmers developers and the relative number of jobs available is roughly the same. Unless there's some sort of real difference that I haven't found, I don't care if someone calls me a programmer or a developer. I really don't see any difference beside word choice.
