Your page has:
> Newspaper newsroom employment fell 57% between 2008 and 2020, from roughly 71,000 jobs to about 31,000. At the same time, the number of digital-native newsroom employees rose 144%, from 7,400 workers in 2008 to about 18,000 in 2020.
So we are going from 78k to about 49k, a drop of almost 40%. It would be interesting to see a finer grained breakdown by type of jobs.
