What’s the Job Market Trend for Database and System Analysts Professionals?

I am writing a research paper on the current job market trends for database and system analyst professionals in the United States, as well as the outsourcing of IT careers to the Philippines. I am required to seek the opinion of an IT professional on this subject for my paper.

1. What do you believe is the current job trend for database & system analyst professionals in the United States?

2. If possible, do you know the job trend of outsourcing careers to the Philippines?

3. Are database and system analyst skills important for IT professionals in other fields, such as security, development, and programing?
