1. They won't. 2. Those who were made unemployed were not the same people renting expensive SF apartments.

  2. People who are made unemployed by the pandemic who transition into a tech career become recruiter fodder, and will eventually join the candidate pool. That's what I'm talking about, not the sum of all unemployed people.

    Maybe, but I think there is already a glut of bootcamp-style developers who represent the majority of career-changing opportunities doing front-end development or mobile development after a 3-12 month training. I don't there there are as many entry-level tech opportunities in the bay area as people think their is. The roles that are really hungry seem to always be senior or cross-discipline devops that requires many years across many types of domains.

That's what I'm talking about, not the sum of all unemployed people. I really don't think the a significant portion of burger flippers have suddenly decided that a CS degree or pay for an expensive technical bootcamp is what they want to do. As far as I can see, the people losing their jobs are not in the educated class. A lot of them didn't go to college, did go to poorly rated schools, and are underachievers.
