An unintended consequence of the virus crisis has caused a need for Cobol programmer. WHAT!?!?
Apparently, the stress on NJ unemployment computers requires people who know how to program this ancient programming language.
Personal note: I actually had some one offer me a 6 months contract to do some Cobol programming 2 years ago. First, I have never programmed in Cobol, as you can guess by the name “common business-oriented language”, it was intended for the business world. Mostly main frame systems like pay roll and accounting. I have programmed in Fortran, so I do have obsolete knowledge. The second strange thing about the 6 month contract gig was that it was on-site in Poland.
