The DoL link in the article is to the occupational job outlook for "Computer and Information Research Scientists" which shows a predicted increase of 19%. That's largely a PhD position.
If you look up "Software Developers" instead, the outlook is actually a 30% increase but median pay is somewhat less. "Computer Programmers" shows only a 12% increase, but a much lower median pay.
