This may be due to Autodesk being based in San Rafael, Ideate's success as a dealer, or some combination of these and other factors. I don't think this is necessarily representative of the situation nationally, and I doubt that Revit is doing as well outside the US. There may also be more openings for Revit users since there are so few of them around.
You will never find reliable absolute numbers but I'm not sure that it matters. More interesting to me (and immediately available and a very accurate metric) is want ads listings. In my area on this day revit beats ArchiCAD better than 2:1.

Groups tend to follow market leaders in a winner-take-all way. This becomes all the more true where there are limited open standards for file formats etc.
And Graphisoft's market will expand quite a bit, from being a niche product for the 0.1% or whatever of the architectural market using BIM/Virtual Building, it will grow into a niche product for the 30% or 50% of the architectural market using BIM/Virtual Building...

For a while now ArchiCAD has been the exact opposite: buggy and hard to use. What 30%-50% wants to migrate to that?
