I absolutely do not buy that number. The citation you've given is "GoRemotely" who a) only cite that for one year, 2017 and b) are obviously biased towards inflating numbers.
- yamtaddle 4y agoEven if true, it doesn't necessarily follow that there's a shortage of workers in a sector because the number of new grads is way under the number of job postings per year. Even if we assume only comp-sci grads are suitable for 100% of those positions (which is definitely not true) it still doesn't necessarily mean that there's an under-supply. We'd need a lot more info to figure that out.
