Not sure why you'd want to learn Ruby/Rails. Ruby has been dropping in use for a few years now, and it looks like that downward trend will accelerate.

Have you considered Python/Django?

Is that really true? Most of the companies I've talked to are looking for people with Ruby/Rails experience. I've seen some looking for Python Django experience, but far less. I currently do Python dev at work. I've looked a Django, but I wasn't super impressed, but again maybe I'm just not finding the right resources for learning to work with it. Any suggestions there?
What is your source?

Indeed.com shows no such drop in Rails job offers. Both Rails and Django are showing growth in the percentage of job offers: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=rails,+django&l=

If you fall back to a language-only search, then Python shows a bigger slice of the pie, but the original question was about web frameworks. http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=python,+ruby&l=
