A classic example of poor "journalism". If a market is very small (eg Actuarial Science) then the employment market will swing between drought & glut.

It would be better to look at the actual number of each profession that are required each year, I'd guess Nurses 10,000 vs Actuaries 10, and then pick a profession.
