Is the tech sector producing more startups than other areas?

As a 19 year old who reads HackerNews, it can feel overwhelming to read about all the startups that are being founded in the tech sector.

I'm wondering if this is just an effect of the HN echo chamber, or whether other industries are just as actively producing startups.

When I read about all the startups being founded in tech, I just start thinking "How am I supposed to start anything that competes with all these other people?"

I'm pretty sure this is an effect of the HN echo chamber, but it would be helpful if more educated people could tell me whether the tech sector produces a disproportionate number of startups, or whether it's this way in other areas too.
