Debunking Forbes: 14 In-demand Tech Jobs Employers Are Struggling To Fill

I'm writing this because some Congressman will inevitably cite Forbes and enter this piece of fake news into the Congressional record.

Forbes Business Contributor, Laurence Bradford, published a click-bait piece titled, "14 In-demand Tech Jobs Employers Are Struggling To Fill".  The article is 15 pages of photos, each containing a basic caption about a purported tech job. The reader has the pleasure of loading all of the Forbes advertising 15 times to get through the article.


Ms. Bradford claims that GlassDoor.com has the following, 1,076,505 positions that "...employers are struggling to fill."
