      Any evidence to back up using the word “historic”, here? The dotCom burst was historic, but by the numbers I’ve seen, this doesn’t come close.

      I would argue “interesting footnote in the boom/bust cycle”.

      I know that’s not how it feels to the folks going through job searches right now, though.
