New research published today by Imperva Incapsula shows strong demand for DDoS mitigation skills and other security related talent.
Given the number of high profile DDoS attacks covered in the media, this should not surprise anyone. I searched on LinkedIn and it returned 28,619 results for DDoS attacks on LinkedIn alone.

Worldwide DDoS Mitigation Demand
Demand is not limited to the U.S. Incapsula identified 983 open positions that mentioned DDoS skills across 37 countries. Their research includes additional graphs and stats published here.
There are also active discussions ongoing on the home pages of both Inbound.org and GrowthHackers.com for those who want more details.

Your statistics is pretty good! It is no wonder that U.S. needs specialists of information security, so many cyber-attacks! I have worked on the reliability of web designing as a career option using the article posted at http://speckyboy.com/2015/09/28/web-design-dying-trade-viable-career-option/ and was wondered of its necessarity.
The blog is absolutely fantastic. Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need. Thanks for such a continuous great postings.
