<div>Thanks Ida, though I cannot trace the article on the Washington Post site; maybe a more refined link could help. However as I was searching I came across another article on the same site:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/08/19/it-now-accounts-for-4-6-million-jobs-and-most-of-them-are-going-to-men/</div>
<div> </div>
<div>which talks of the 4.6 IT workers in the USA. Could be informative reading for those who think IT worker can be regulated by licensing.</div>

<p dir="ltr">> FYI, today's Washington Post has a special section devoted entirely to the 25th anniversary of the Web. It includes a list of the Top 25 memes of all time (from Dancing Baby to Left Shark) and a good deal of interesting history.<br />
