A lot can change in 5 years
That would be about right the data is about 4 or 5 years old by time it gets published.Another thing I dislike are those Department of Labor stats on different fields they are very misleading because they measure everyone employed in the US in that field it is all averaged the demand for a job might be high and one state and very low in another and the pay is averaged out so it is misleading as well.
