Agile adoption by geography

I wonder if there is a geographical distribution to the adoption of agile philosophies. To find out, I used Dice's job listings as a proxy to determine percent of postings that matched the word "agile" by City.

It's probably a bit too small to see, but if you display it individually, you should be able to clearly see the list of cities and the rough placing of the cities within the distribution.
