  Some states have zero India/China born developers - am I reading the second-to-last chart correctly?

    It means that the survey had zero India/China born developers in its sample. The page links to https://usa.ipums.org/usa/sampdesc.shtml#us2017a https://usa.ipums.org/usa/sampdesc.shtml#us2017a which states that the AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY 2017 SAMPLE is a "1-in-100 national random sample of the population." Hence, the estimate of 877 software developers in Wyoming (WY) likely comes from a sample of 9 with 6 being U.S. born and 3 being born in a foreign country other than India or China. That's why the counts are usually limited to a minimum of 1,000 and are usually much higher.

      The perils of reporting a single number instead of a confidence interval.

  IBM in Jersey?

  Amazing that there are so many 2-year-old software developers, or did their parents pre-ordain their future careers? ;)
