   What was corrected

   FAQ answer corrected to "ISC2's 2024 study estimates a global workforce gap of approximately 4.8 million unfilled positions." Post excerpt corrected to "...The 4.8M jobs gap..."

   Why: Body content and the data table were already correctly fixed to ~4.8 million (6 instances) and ~3% BLS growth, but the FAQ JSON-LD block's 'How many cybersecurity jobs are unfilled globally?' answer still cited the stale 3.5 million figure, and the post excerpt independently repeated the same stale '3.5M' figure. Both fixed to 4.8 million/4.8M to match the corrected body and re-verified live after PUT.
