Not that it lessens the blow any, but it's worth mentioning that these figures are across the entire employment spectrum. Some of the commenters mention large hits in management, but it can also represent the freefall in construction and other especially vulnerable blue collar/service industries.
Probably because I am in the midst of starting my own job search and targeting SF/SV, I got a little unnecessarily worried. This is not a tech job specific figure.
- donaldc 17y agoUnemployment may be higher, but strangely I'm noticing that rush-hour traffic is still a lot worse than during the dotcom bust, when traffic jams on 101 nearly disappeared for a while.

- mikeryan 17y agoIts true, the unemployment much more spread out then in the dot com bust. This recession doesn't "feel" as bad as 2001 where everyone I knew was getting laid off from a tech company or startup, I think because the spectrum affected is so much wider.
