1 in 4 Universities surveyed teach COBOL today

65% COBOL is uncool

65% state that COBOL is considered (by students) ‘uncool’ or is unheard of completely

5% of new graduates have COBOL language skills

10,000 US workers reaching retirement age (65) every day - Occurring over next 19 years. Representing 26% of US workforce
