We don't have to guess... What happened to each group during the last two tech/economic downturns (2000-2003 and 2007-2009)?



In the tech bubble of the early 2000s, everyone got burned. In 2007-2009, few in tech were burned. Not sure that's relevant.


In recent downturns people without college degrees got burned. HR could ask for more credentials, even if they were less relevant than experience. Its just its been so long since the last IT downturn, the newbies feel invincible.
