I said this earlier on reddit too, but I think it is a bit too
narrow to look for jobs that directly use D as a measure.
Don't get me wrong, it'd be nice if there were more, but I
actually got a couple out-of-the-blue job offers over the last
month explicitly due to my experience with D - they saw it as a
good indicator.
Now, imagine if a bunch of companies are hiring people with D
experience... it is just a matter of time before D users are in
decision-making positions...
But even if that doesn't come to pass, these are hiring people
who recognize the name D and see some value in candidates who
know it, even if it just shows ongoing professional
development. Not a bad thing!
What's interesting is that the original linked article was
written by a blogger at dice.com, a long-standing job search
website:

A nice overview of the current D situation by David Bolton- not
the usual filler you see from non-technical authors as he
specifically mentions the GC, dub, modules, etc. and details
about how they work- D can only hope for more such appreciative
and nuanced coverage.
