The number of Americans in Comp Sci versus English doesn't matter. What matters is supply of Americans with BSc Comp Sci versus demand for Americans with BSc Comp Sci.
There is always a demand for software engineers/designers/programmers. According to recent reports there are 3 million open tech jobs in the US. Assuming a pessimistic 50% variation in that number, you still have 1.5 million jobs. The popular dislike for "geek/nerd" STEM subjects in American schools doesn't help. That's unfortunately a societal problem that needs to be overcomed ("I don't know math", "that's for nerds" etc. fine flip my burger then).
