So according to this thread, 50% of people got affected by the dotcom bubble, right?

I went and looked up some actual numbers. According to this article:

Between November 2001 and April 2005, 415,600 tech jobs had been lost.

So a lot of people if you put them all in a room together, but not a huge number across the global economy.
