What proportion of the C/C++ jobs are actually C++ jobs? What proportion of
C compilers can't also compile C++ now?

this looks cool, but i'm afraid most this jobs are something like "you'll 
write in Python/Perl/C++, Lisp knowledge is a bonus", "port legacy Lisp 
system to Java" or something like that.. or that are real Lisp jobs?

There are a couple of real jobs there.  ITA Software is always on the
lookout for Lisp hackers, and their QPX system is written in Common
Lisp.

The situation is a lot better than it was 10 years ago, though!
