A search, right now, on Upwork does the following:
PHP - 12316 jobs
Ruby - 1175 jobs
Java - 5902 jobs
Python - 10051 jobs
.NET - 2353 jobs
Adding a few of the others:
C# - 2562 jobs (I suspect those .NET also can be interchanged with C#)
C++ - 1711 jobs
Go - 3925 jobs
Rust - 382 jobs
Feel free to double check my results. Like it or not, Upwork is the largest freelancer site.
- oefrha 5y agoUpwork also skews towards one-off gigs for businesses serving a tiny audience, often with <=$100 pay. The average full-time, long-term job offering could be equivalent to maybe 50 average Upwork jobs (just a ballpark number I pulled out of nowhere).
- unnouinceput 5y agoAnd let's assume your pulled from nowhere ballpark number would be true. Even then the percentage of those jobs would still be in favor for PHP, with PHP being an order of magnitude higher than Ruby
- joelbluminator 5y agoWell to counter your anecdotal search Linkedin shows 31226 jobs for Ruby (U.S) vs 22208 for PHP. I think PHP isn't really strong in North American but more in Europe.
- unnouinceput 5y agoAnecdotal search? How so, please explain.
- joelbluminator 5y agoYou're searching in one website which is intended for freelancers, that's not exactly a good representation of the software industry.
- unnouinceput 5y agoI know that. What I meant is how is "anecdotal" my search. That is skewed towards freelancing, that's true, but anecdotal? It implies is a joking of a search, which is definitely not. Your LinkedIn search is skewed towards US, but I don't call it anecdotal!
