People like to throw that study around, but it has serious methodological problems (for more, see, e.g., this response). Even if there weren't giant problems with that study, tenure track faculty positions are in the extreme minority of STEM jobs in terms of numbers. There are maybe a few hundred open positions in the US per year in all STEM fields. This is in stark contrast to the tens of thousands (or more) of other possible STEM jobs outside of universities.
