Python’s still No. 1, but employers love to see SQL skills

@rauschma these rankings are never too useful, as stated job requirements and job skills listed on CVs are tough to weigh by actual importance. Fully 100% of the resumes I see list SQL as a skill, but only a tiny sliver of them show competency beyond looking up a query on stackoverflow. Most probably couldn't tell you what a GROUP BY does.

Python gets listed as required when it's nice to have. But few list C if C isn't critical to the role.

@rauschma I think it’s hard to avoid bias in this kind of lists. IEEE uses their own publications as part of the data, which gives Python quite a bump IMO
