Can anyone explain how the 700 number makes any sense?

The analysis referenced by the article: https://e-janco.com/career/employmentdata.html#p7TP3c2_3

The table "Change In IT Job Market Size - December 2023" seems to indicate that 5.5k jobs were added to the 'job market' in 2023, contradicting what's being said. (Which isn't even representative of total employment in the sector, only the open job postings for the sector).

Maybe it is net new jobs, once you account for the massive layoffs in 2023.
