I'd have to disagree. It may seem like tech is driving the US economy when you're standing in Silicon Valley, but it's not even in the top 5.[1]

Energy, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and agriculture have seen the most growth lately.

Of course tech can play a role in all of those industries, but overall tech is not that big a part of the US economy.
