Even better: 0.15% of the entire US population for unfilled jobs.
I'm going to assume most of these aren't permanent positions but gigs.

US tech industry bis larger than people imagine. With the ongoing cyber attacks, every company > 10 employees who have a lot at stake needs to hire cyber security specialists.
If we can have 500k police and private guards, we should have 500k cyber security specialists

While this is probably true for boot camp web devs, it is also a very real problem for recent college grads who learn about fancy algorithms in their CS degrees, but have no idea what angles of attack exist.
