This rough calculation is based on the employment figures presented in Table 7-2, "Job breakdown for software workers," on the job titles of computer and information scientists, research; computer programmers; computer software engineers, applications; computer software engineers, systems software; and computer systems analysts. Other job titles were not considered in this analysis. Total U.S. economic expenditure on software development was computed by multiplying an average fully burdened labor cost of $95,000 times 1,741,000 personnel in the job titles listed. Of the total amount of roughly $160 billion, 25% is the amount that is spent on cancelled projects. This analysis may understate the impact of cancelled projects due to the fact that the risk of cancellation increases with the size of the project, so that cancelled projects may be more costly than average projects.
