edit: (forgot to elaborate on which question I was referring to) "There just aren't that many designers out there, relative to other disciplines. Anybody who has tried to hire designers knows that it is super hard, harder than hiring engineers which is already hard."

I think the real question is: why aren't more graphic designers transitioning from print into web design instead?

IMO There are plenty of graphic designers for market demand, but there are very few qualified web designers

Because web design sucks. Dealing with HTML and CSS directly is like dealing with assembly language. With print design you know exactly what you have to work with. With web design, you're designing for a multitude of browsers and clients.
