The exact change
1) "It appeared in 38 percent of entry-level job postings we sampled, more than any other beginner credential." 2) "Roughly 32 percent of public cloud workloads run on AWS as of 2025 [8], meaning the skills transfer to a large share of the modern market."
1) "It appears in a large share of entry-level job postings, more than any other beginner credential." 2) "AWS remains the largest public cloud provider by workload share, meaning the skills transfer to a large share of the modern market; check Synergy Research's current reporting for the latest breakdown [8]."
Suggested change
Softened 2 fabricated/cross-article-inconsistent statistics (1 confirmed inconsistent with a sibling article's A+ posting-frequency figure, 1 confirmed inconsistent with a sibling article's AWS market-share figure) to qualitative statements.
Why this is better
Softened 2 unverified/cross-article-inconsistent statistics to qualitative statements: an uncited '38 percent of entry-level job postings' A+ figure found inconsistent with a 28% figure for the same claim in a sibling article, and an AWS 32% (Q4 2025) cloud market-share figure found inconsistent with a 31% (2024) figure in another sibling article. Kept the Synergy Research reference-list entry with a pointer to check current reporting rather than stating an unverified-precision figure.
