Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
It's hard to find data about how your peers are doing. Anecdotally, I know a lot of tech employees who are out of work right now and/or have been out of work for 6-12 months. I know more tech workers than I ever have before in my life, that's obviously going to come with 20 years of experience, but I've never seen such a large share of them struggling to find income -- to the point that a small number of them are moving out of the industry against their wishes.

At least the meme that you could walk out of a job by Friday, and have 3 offers by the end of the following week just wasn't/isn't the norm in any other skilled labor profession.
