Indeed.com has a fun little tool that allows users to see the number of jobs posted with specific keyphrases or search terms. According to the tool, the need for search engine optimization and marketing pros continue to rise at a healthy pace when looking at the number of job postings month over month.

The talks that I have with search marketing firms and experts reveal a similar theme: The demand for SEOs outweighs the supply. I fully expect this trend to continue, with the trend of contracting and homegrown SEO/SEM growing at a healthy pace.
