Huge Job Growth in Computer Science
US Department of Labor estimates that 2.8 million new jobs in STEM will open by the end of the decade.
• The majority of those STEM jobs are predicted to be in computer science
• Computer science job growth predicted at 13% annually through 2022
• Next highest growing STEM discipline is engineering at 5% annually
Most STEM jobs will be/are in computer science
STEM and CS Jobs
Social Sciences; 7%
Physical Sciences; 4%
Life Sciences; 4%
Engineering; 17%
Mathematics; 3%
Computing; 65%
Projected Annual Growth of Newly Created STEM Jobs from
2012-2022
Experts Agree: Huge Opportunity
• In 2015, CNN ranked “software architect” as the #1 job in America. - In all, 9 out of the top 25 jobs were CS-related (database developer, informations analyst, user experience designer, etc).
- List was based on job growth, compensation, and work satisfaction.
• At the same time, Kiplinger released their list of the top 25 college majors based on similar criteria. The top four spots on the list:
- Computer Science - Management Information Systems
- Software Engineering
- Information Technology
Massive growing gap in computer science work force:
Huge Opportunity, Huge Problem
Computer Science Worker Shortage
The U.S. does not have enough computer science workers:• In the decade between 2014 and 2024:
• Average of 111,000 new computer science jobs added annually (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014)
• Average of 72,000 new computer science graduates annually (National Center for Education Statistics, 2014).
• Equates to nearly 1/3 of all computer science jobs going unfilled annually• In Utah…
• An estimated 15,000 tech jobs in Utah are currently unfilled• Utah had the highest percentage of tech job growth in the first six months of 2016
(+7.7%)
