I'd like to get your thoughts on some percentages. First, of the PMs working today, say out of the estimated 10.6 million in N. America, roughly, how many work in the field of IT and/or Computer Science? Then out of that number how many are contractors vs. FTEs? Thank you. Saving Changes...

Very interesting question. I also have no insights on this, and wonder where you got the 10 mil no from. Saving Changes...

Sounds like we need to launch a PM survey to get these answers. Saving Changes...

So, if we can transpose the % that means approx. 2 million of the 10 million are contractors. Now how many are IT/CS PMs? Still looking.
NPR said in Jan 2018; "A new NPR/Marist poll finds that 1 in 5 jobs in America is held by a worker under contract. Within a decade, contractors and freelancers could make up half of the American workforce. Workers across all industries and at all professional levels will be touched by the movement toward independent work — one without the constraints, or benefits, of full-time employment."
