"Than average".

There's lies, damned lies, and then: there's statistics.

You have to counter the growth in jobs based on how many new people there are to take them, the location in which they are, and somewhat weirdly other jobs.

Plenty of people feel so dejected at the current state of things that they leave computer work entirely making "openings" where there isn't actually any growth.

Like all things that you try to understand: a single datapoint, when averaged, is like trying to calculate the heat from the sun by looking through a telescope at jupiter. It will give you a far-out tiny facet of data that only makes sense when coalesced with a hundred other ones.
