An interesting list, and a not-unreasonable method of establishing them. I wouldn’t have guessed that Java, Erlang, Silverlight, and Clojure would be on this list.
We asked job site Indeed.com to tell us which skills will command a salary of at least $100,000 a year. And that’s just salary — a new job might also net you bonuses, stock options and the like.
Indeed is one of the biggest job search sites on the ‘net with 1.5 billion job searches per month. It sifted through its massive database of job titles and descriptions and the salaries associated with them to come up with this list.

Erlang and Clojure are on the list because the financial world is interested in those languages. Scala is hot in that world too – but Java/J2EE is also in high demand in the financial world. Since I am located in NYC, I hear a lot about the needs of the financial industry with respect to software skills.
