InfoSec Jobs

We all know that a lot of people lost their jobs because of the difficult U.S. economic conditions. I got interested in searching for a list of jobs looking for InfoSec certified professionals and checked 3 of the well-known sites for job hunting. I used the InfoSec certification abbreviations as a search string and did not specify any U.S. city or zip code and came up the following numbers.

Please note though that this is just a count of the strings on the websites so this cannot represent the actual number of job openings. A company can post their job opening on the 3 websites below and it will be counted as 3 (one for each site below) instead of 1. Also, some jobs list several certifications on their posting, e.g. CISSP, CISA, CEH certified, so an open position with this criteria will have a count for each of the InfoSec certification listed, i.e. 1 for CISSP, 1 for CISA and 1 for CEH, even though the open position is only 1.

CareerBuilder.com
CCNA - 755
CISA - 468
CISSP - 440
CISM - 108
CEH - 21
GSEC - 20
SSCP - 19

DICE.com
CCNA - 868
CISSP - 796
CISA - 279
CISM - 163
GSEC - 48
SSCP - 47
CEH - 34

Monster.com
CCNA - 861
CISSP - 768
CISA - 624
CISM - 163
SSCP - 66
GSEC - 55
CEH - 27

By the way, the job search results for CareerBuilder and Dice websites only listed the jobs posted within the last 30 days while Monster showed jobs for the last 60 days. I will try to create another count in about 2 weeks or so. Please let me know if you want me to add other InfoSec certifications or other job hunting websites on the list.
