I made a small research trying to find out which of the Internet Jobs is in a most demand now. I took the information from oDesk.com website and got interesting results. In spite of huge number of web developers around, the Web Programming job has the lowest ratio of available developers to the open projects (it means it is in the highest demand on the job market). The second place took Web Design and the third place - Web Applications.
I was surprised to find out that SEO is not in Top 5 positions. The last position in this rating is Email Response Handling, which is understandable.
I guess this truly reflects the Internet Job market situation.
