The truth is that extrememly few are being paid for making open source software and it will remain the case in the future. Having employees are not free and it's simply not defendable to pay people to do something that doesn't generate any revenue.
Like the post above said, many agancies posts the same jobs so most jobs are just a duplett of another job.
The reason why open source software is free is that the people making it doesn't get paid. Thats the point.
Just to avoid flaming: Yes, i know there are a handfull of exceptions but in most cases open source software is free labour.
