That and the fact that reported "10k layoffs at tech company" doesn't mean 10k developers, sysadmins, and the like are now out of a job. It generally is a mixture of all roles at the company – many of which may not be "techy" in nature (customer service reps, etc.)

Not that anyone losing a job is ever a good thing, but I think a lot of news stories make it seem like a mass-extinction of fullstack devs, when the reality is more complex.

Now I'm distracted by the guaranteed-to-be-frustrating question of how they delineate what industry someone works in. I'm going to guess that if you do any job at a tech company, you're in the "Information" bucket. But I bet if you work at a contractor that services a company, you could suddenly be in another service bucket.
