Software Development Job Postings on Indeed in the United States

Looking at other graphs, the same thing happened in other countries like [0] Canada or [1] Germany.

However this data isn't scaled for the overall popularity of Indeed as a job-posting site. If you look at that baseline [2] things aren't so notable. For example, take the 2020-02-01 to 2022-03-01 span: Software dev postings rose ~2.66x, but much of that was probably related to how all postings were up ~2.05x.

The decrease, on the other hand, remains interesting.
