Is there any reason to suggest that would be any different for MATLAB? I personally believe that Mathematica is the harder of the two systems to get to grips with, though as with any non-trivial program, the learning curves are a bit steep, though I'd say Mathematica's is steeper. There are plenty of jobs specifically requiring MATLAB skills, but not that many mentioning Mathematica. The only conclusion I can logically come to is that Mathematica is not widely used in industry, since if it was, there would be more jobs mentioning Mathematica.
