I was curious how the number of current P5 openings compares to the P5 openings each year from 2013–Present

I’d be curious where tech would rank in each of these years? How many jobs each year are better than tech? I took a crappy stab at it.

My crude takeaway is that while the total number of openings has been higher in many seasons in the past, in only one year of the past nine where there easily 5 jobs that were clearly better than tech. That was in 2017. This appears to be the year with the second most top tier openings out of the past 9 years. No bueno for us…
