My mistake: that’s the figure for men overall, which is balanced in the general statistic by the huge gains for women. I should have checked more carefully but was on a phone.
The main point I was going at is that most of us here have a really skewed view of the general economy after a couple decades of good times for tech workers which haven’t been generally true of the overall job market, especially when you factor in benefits and job security. This is similar for stock market gains when so many Americans have no or only a token stake invested.
