I'm finding 2.4% unemployment rate for software developers: https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-develope...

Regardless of the true number, you're right that no amount of reasoning on paper "why" we should be employed matters if the reality is different; which it clearly is for a lot of people. Reality decides in the end.

A more accurate title might have been "Why AI is a reason to become a software developer" - since the topic I discuss is entirely AI and its effects on the field, and there might be entirely non-AI reasons for not going into software.

I'm not sure how old your link is. A basic search is showing multiple sources from this year indicating the rate is more than double that 2.4 number.
