Resuscitating these businesses - bringing much needed innovation and structural reform to a firm that has been starved of it for a long time - is a time-consuming and costly proposition.

Limited tech share offerings to date means limited wealth depletion, a huge benefit given that households are still suffering from excess debt and substantial wealth erosion from 2008 peaks.

The point of this brief history of the tech labor market in the 21st century is to point out that it went from cold to overheated over the span of many years. Then the music stopped, abruptly.
