Similarly, this chart says there are only 2,000-4,000 teachers in K-12 education: http://usafacts.org/metrics/34211. This is obviously not true.

Most likely missing scale. Probably in thousands.

Yep you are right. I see the numbers in the report and they are in the thousands: http://usafacts.org/report-slides?page=66.

This still shows the flaws in the website. It does not say what the scale is in on graph at all, and other graphs will not be so obviously incorrect.
