How was the high-tech sector affected during the recession of 2007?   high-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs.

The correct answer is High-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs

Whereas many businesses stalled and had to fire people, these were mostly people that were easily replaced for someone who could work for a smaller salary. High tech sector employees are usually too much of a benefit to the company to be laid off so their job security was high since nobody could replace them.
