Course Report you should do an industry survey but they stopped doing it a few years ago as the industry started declining. Given the cohort size trends and shutdowns over the past year. I would estimate that it was probably close to 10,000 last year and this year is probably a third of that in the low thousands. Which is ultimately why so many programs are shutting down and laying people off. As Derek said, there are a bunch of boot camps that maybe are more like upskilling programs for certain sectors or government-sponsored programs and different things like that that like might look like boot camps day-to-day but I wouldn't count those. and I'm only talking about the canonical expensive paid boot camp where you are expecting a job at the end of it.
