Nice to see the trend confirming my suspicion, the market has been complicated for the last year and it's not really improving (whether you are hiring or looking for a job)

View on HN

I found the same - market is actually getting worse (if HN is representative of the market). This month there were more job seekers on HN than jobs for the first time since 2014.

This site I think counts only top-level comments, and the streams have been crossed since ~April 2023: https://www.hnhiringtrends.com/ . The overall trend is the same though - the market seems pretty historically bad.

There's also Indeed postings data, which unfortunately only goes back to 2020 but is similarly bleak: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IHLIDXUSTPSOFTDEVE
