Every year in May the Computing Research Association publishes the Taulbee Survey which is the principal source for information on the enrollment, production, and employment of Computer Science and Engineering majors in the US and Canada.

From Computing Careers Market, based on Bureau of Labor and Statistics, we get the following chart: In other words:

For the foreseeable future, nearly 3 out of 4 new science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) jobs in the U.S. are going to be in computing! By contrast, just 16% will be traditional engineering jobs, and even fewer will be in the sciences or mathematics.

It looks like Pac-man. Awesome.
