I've been messing around with the idea to regularly query various job search resources and put together some detailed information on various certifications that employers are looking for, regions they are located, and so on. I had some free time and I performed a relatively simple analysis on Cisco certifications using just Monster.com as the single resource. I was mostly looking to get an idea of what various Cisco certifications were the most listed in job postings. This was my first run at this so I'm sure there are areas in which the queries could be improved upon, and I do have further plans for something much more advanced - that just requires a lot more coding to help automate as this set of results on it's own was 459 searches.
I also thought the idea would be a decent idea for a post on my new blog I'm hopefully going to have time to stick into here and there. So here it is, just a basic look at what Cisco certifications are posted in listings as of today's listings on Monster.com broken down by state.

If anybody has any suggestions on what you would like to see in possible future projects like this, let me know - I'd love to hear some feedback.
