I am a new visitor to this blog, and was curious to see what kind of statistics are available to Americans. I am involved with a group of Candian techies, and we have been trying to gather similar statistics since 2002, with little success I may add ;-)
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the chart you provided is not very legible on my browser even after I click on it to enlarge the image
anonymous,
Thanks for the input.
This format (blogspot) doesn't support html tables very well. After a bit of frustration, I decided to post the table as an image -- simply to support my assertions.
The imaging software I own doesn't handle text very well. I have the spreadsheet if that would help you.
