- spamizbad 4y agoYep, and in the United States, there's no longer a large generation flooding into the workforce (Millennials); CS degrees have flatlined since 2016.

Bootcamps are more challenging to evaluate, as they have a history controversy around their graduation rates / job placement rates.

However, stats seem to indicate there were ~25K graduates in 2020. https://www.statista.com/statistics/626932/north-america-coding-bootcamp-graduating-student-numbers/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/626932/north-america-cod...
