Thanks for the data point. It's helpful, but I'd be worried about extrapolating too much from one outsized data point.

For one thing, BLS stats say that computer programming has grown from 528k to 1666k from 1999 - 2018 (the broad category of Computer and Mathematical Operations went from 2620k to 4384k). For another, just looking at the largest company only works if the distribution is similar.

Still, it is relevant that Uber is so big.
