At my current position, there are several hundred devs, but only a dozen or so senior web devs. They look for more, but it's taking time for the glut of new people pouring into the field to learn all the old while keeping up with all the new stuff every year. I started off in the back-end a number of years ago, but quickly found myself being shoved to the front-end because I knew what to do and didn't complain loudly enough. I'd love to do more than just the occasional back-end job. I'd love to have a break from the constant headaches of making stuff work across dozens of incompatible browsers developed over the past decade, but moving to the backend full-time would cut my pay significantly. Supply, demand, and being forced into the undesirable job are paying off for me at the moment, but that doesn't mean that every other part of the market is dying for people.
