It's simple the market is flooded.
3.5 million cyber security positions expected to be open by 2021 "A new report out from Cybersecurity Ventures estimates there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021, up from 1 million openings last year," CSO reports. "In 2017, the U.S. employs nearly 780,000 people in cybersecurity positions, with approximately 350,000 current cybersecurity openings." That number of jobs contrasts with the 209,000 positions available in 2015, which in turn were up 74 percent from the number of positions available in 2010. The explosion in security positions is leading many to predict that there will be at least a half million unfilled security positions open by 2021. But it goes further than security-focused positions. "Every IT position is also a cybersecurity position now," the authors of the Cybersecurity Jobs Report for 2017 say. "Every IT worker, every technology worker, needs to be involved with protecting and defending apps, data, devices, infrastructure, and people." The huge increase in positions is, in part, due to the steady drum beat of reported cyber attacks that are costing businesses trillions each year. As of 2015, businesses lost a reported $3 trillion in downtime and damages to cyber attacks. That amount is expected to increase by an additional $3 trillion by 2021.
Must be nice in my area you can't walk down the street and see a single one.
BTW - I didn't think the Republican party could come up with someone that would make me miss your village idiot (W.), but they've managed to do just that.
