There are 6600 jobs listed and 6500 individuals on LinkedIn with that particular title, and therefore there's a shortage? Seriously?

* How many aren't on LinkedIn?

* Since the whole article is about how the job title is poorly defined and growing in prevalence, why would you assume that people who don't already have such a job would use the term?

* The "growth" charts on the full study are just as bad - how much of that is just from renaming existing generic developer positions, since "data engineer" is clearly a relatively new term?

6500 data engineers on all of Linkedin, but 6600 job openings in the bay area. so there are more job openings in one area than all data engineers on linkedin
