Growing Open-Source DB Market
The market for open-source databases is growing by leaps and bounds. This is a good article with plenty of statistics and links to relevant resources. Of course at the same time that the open-source market is growing, the commercial market for enterprise databases is growing as well, albeit slower.
All this points to more data being stored, and more administrators needed all around. Indeed.com job trends shows these figures for MySQL jobs (1/5%) and these figures for Oracle jobs (3%). That's 15 times as many Oracle job postings.
