you are asking me to believe that BLS figures show a growing field, with great pay - while at the same time, college matriculations for which are imploding. both cannot be true, because if it is, the entire concept of market driven forces has been turned entirely upside down. has it?
if the BLS told you that furniture manufacturing employment was doing well, would you believe it?
I don't know who they count as part of these numbers, whose salaries they are tallying. Managers, executives, anybody who says they "work in tech", or who holds a degree in it? I don't know, the BLS probably doesn't either, they just tally whatever the companies send them in the surveys.
Did enrollment in that field grow during the tech bubble? How much? Did it shrink after the bubble? Probably. Is it lower than before the bubble? You tell me.
Provide a fact. And please make sure it's from a good source, not the BLS. LOL!
