The disconnect is from one of the beliefs listed in the Twitter thread: "There is no 'geospatial industry,' only industries with spatial problems." I'm a statistician with a state health department and do some GIS work. If I were more skilled with geospatial analysis, there's no doubt the decision makers I work with would be delighted. If somebody wants to use GIS skills, they should keep an eye on IT or analysis roles. They might not specifically ask for it, but you can still sell it in the interview if it'll help solve their problems. If you're hoping to make the big bucks or work on cutting edge problems, then staying local will be difficult.
