Mainframe programmers analyze, design, code, test, implement, maintain, and document mainframe computer system software. They usually work on one or more specific software applications including operating systems, compilers, utilities, job control language, and other control modules. Mainframe programmers also analyze user hardware and software needs and recommend upgrades or new purchases.

Employment Information
Computer programmers held about 455,000 jobs in 2004. Programmers are employed in almost every industry, but the largest concentration is in computer systems design. Large numbers of programmers also work for telecommunications companies, software publishers, financial institutions, insurance carriers, educational institutions, and government agencies.

Many computer programmers are employed on a temporary or contract basis or work as independent consultants, providing companies with expertise with new programming languages or specialized areas of application. Rather than hiring programmers as permanent employees and then laying them off after a job is completed, employers can contract with consulting firms. Consulting jobs may last several weeks to a year or longer.
