Do a monster.com search and see for yourself. Forms developers are, maybe on a good day, 1/10 the number of VB jobs open. Forms is extremely specialized and specific to app/web development against Oracle databases. Against other databases, it's practically unheard of (with good reason). Also, with Oracle's abandonment of client-server, it's not feasible for smaller Oracle shops, leaving Forms development practical only for the very large shops that can afford it.
