So how the fuck are there hundreds and often thousands of applicants for data science jobs and companies keep ultra high requirements

Surely the pool of relatively young, BSc MSc and can code/math is absolutely fucking tiny given the numbers above....and of course aren't doing something else like being an actuary or an actor/house wife etc

From 1,000,000 18 year olds, we get 35,640 left with a bsc/msc and computational component. And a lot of these are going to be CS majors, or actuaries/random scientists

That's also counting in all the temp student visas who can't work
