The number of employed Americans fell by 7 million between 2007 (the year employment peaked) and 2010. Employment in some occupations has grown, however. During those years the number of computer software engineers grew 13 percent to surpass 1 million. Here is the age distribution of those workers in 2010:
| | |
| Under age 25 | 4.5% |
| Aged 25 to 34 | 31.2% |
| Aged 35 to 44 | 30.5% |
| Aged 45 to 54 | 23.0% |
| Aged 55 to 64 | 9.3% |
