I'm comparing computer science majors, which is the majority (80% in 2015) of those in the computer science category. I think this removes outliers like someone getting a bachelors in computer science with a major in financial engineering at Cornell making 200k on Wall Street after graduation.

2014 67,500. 2015 65,004. Down about 3.7%, which adds up over time.

Either way, from my point of view, the software "profession" is dead in the water unless real change in the industry and our government happens.
