Software Job Growth Trending Down Since 1995

Having recently completed analysis of software job creation (source: BLS) since 1995, when applying a linear regression model to past job creation statistics we are trending downwards over the past ten years.

Although we have several years of job growth it is not as strong as it was previously. This could be a result of the "Y2k bug" creating a spike in jobs while globalization and a depression following suppressed job growth.

Figure 1 depicts the creation of software jobs since 1995.
