Programming job opportunities by country

In my last blog post, I showed programming jobs by city, using LinkedIn. This got me thinking about job opportunities by country, normalized by population. Here is a sample for Python jobs:

We see that per capita, there are 124 times more Python jobs in the USA than in Egypt. Netherlands is close to the USA. Comparing Germany and Turkey, Germany has 79 / 3 = 26 times more jobs. These figures provide a rough estimation of opportunity differences in the tech industry. And since talent needs opportunity to flourish, it correlates with the direction and speed of brain drain (human capital flight).
