Hi!
Could you tell me if this sentence sounds natural, especially the second part of it:
The number of vacancies in IT-industry keeps growing in 2011 and exceeds the rates before the crisis virtually twice as much.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your corrections, Mister Micawber.
The phrase “more than double“ sounds to me like “a times more than” where a>2.
If something is “1.9 times more than”, can I say “almost double”?
