More Than 500,000 High Tech Jobs Lost in 2002 Posted by Cliff on Wednesday November 19, @06:45PM from the and-that's-the-good-news dept. stoolpigeon writes: "A study, released today by the AeA, shows that the U.S. high-tech industry lost 540,000 jobs in 2002, dropping from 6.5 million to 6.0 million.
