[dba-Tech] The IT job trends

There is an option on the graph which allows you to choose either relative
or absolute display (top right of graph).

One shows absolute existing growth (pre-existing) of all jobs and one shows
relative job growth. The Relative job growth of the MySQL as compared to
Hadoop and Mongodb is flat or even dropping. It is similar to the PC market
which is huge but with flat growth as compared to the Smartphone and Tablet
markets which are expanding.

As a young tech, you would should be competent in MySQL but if you wishing
to move your career into an expanding database job market Hadoop and Mongodb
are where you want to be.

MySQL job growth was flat in 2006? Don't think so. Something's wrong 
with that plot.
