Mainframe skills shortage is a complete fabrication, it simply doesn’t exist. In June of this year a local company laid off 850 people, a company with a large mainframe installation (SS&C formerly DST Systems). Hundreds were mainframe programmers. This is after a decade offshoring. There are thousands of former mainframers here. And this is just in Kansas City, Mo.
Anecdotal but representative I believe. Mainframes are costs centers, always will be. And the target of cost cutting. Millenials aren’t dumb!
