That's the converse of what I was talking about. Employability of a skill depends on how many employers are looking for that skill; sightings on resumes aren't quite that. But since people will put on their resumes what they think employers will actually care about (mine doesn't mention my ability to use Q-BASIC's CALL ABSOLUTE command to make use of a mouse), they're going to be at least somewhat connected. Of course, it might be that stackoverflow careers attracts Python programmers and something else attracts C programmers, but unless there's some really major skew, I'd say it's still at least somewhat valid to point to that and show that Python matters to employment.
