It's not the worst metric to use, but it would certainly count me out. Good thing I
already have a job!
I think finding people who list "various assembly languages" instead of a few
specific ones on their resumes might be a better one. People who know how computers
really work know that Assembly is really one language with a bunch of different alphabets
(modulo some really odd architectures, like the Forth machines). :-)

This is definitely the case. It's pretty
tough to find a programmer these days who has any idea of how a computer actually works,
even at the assembly language level.
Not hard at all. Just filter for the ones over 40 who expect a
decent salary. Maybe they've already moved to upper management.
