The 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey is out and guess what? Most individuals who start learning to code typically choose React. To an extent, rightfully so, as quite a few FullStack and FrontEnd development roles require ReactJS. But does the job market trend reflect the learning trends among FrontEnd developers?

There is a clear disconnect between what software developers are learning and what is in demand on the job market. While more than five times as many developers are focusing on React, the job market isn’t as disproportionate. There are only about 1.3 times more jobs for React than Angular, yet the number of learners is overwhelmingly skewed toward React.

The over-investment in ReactJS may be creating a bottleneck of competition for React roles, while there is less competition for Angular positions despite a solid number of openings. The market for Angular jobs is being underserved by new developers, and the strong React learning trend could lead to an oversaturated talent pool.
