What is the tech employment scene like in Philly now?
It may not yet be as bad as the dot com bust of 2001, but tech industries are facing mounting employment pressure.
Country-wide, unemployment has raced past eight percent and, though in 2001 it reached seven, those unemployed in tech make up more than five percent of the industry, according to the most recent numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In the Philadelphia region, the general unemployment number eclipsed seven percent, but within city limits, it is nearing nine.
