If you know Silverlight or WPF, the job market for those skills is really on the rise. Same for Adobe Flex.

Nice spin on the demand for WPF/Silverlight. This .NET fanboi is trying to make it look as though Silverlight holds any kind of market demand compared to Flex. The indeed query that he uses searches jobs for the phrase "adobe flex". This will disqualify all jobs that state that they're looking for a Flex developer, but do not explicitly say an "Adobe Flex" developer (which nobody refers to it that way -- it's like search for "Sun Java").

Here's the REAL chart:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=flex%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo%2C+wpf&l=

Notice that Flex DOMINATES the RIA market. I'm not anti-Silverlight, but I am anti-bullcrap. This guy is clearly trying to make Silverlight look like it has ANY kind of market share compared to Flex. Viewing the corrected Indeed chart shows that this is clearly not the case.
