I think that the greater percentage of cachers tend to
work in a field related to high tech. The people who
have said what they did when they were laid off that I
remember were usually network admins, programmers and
engineers. Since many of us tend to be vocal about our
hobby, there may be a perception that we aren't
working as hard as other drones.

I was at a reunion tonight of employees from another
high-tech company and was given anecdotal information.
Suppoedly, the Arizona IT industry has a 23%
unemployment rate.
