I made a chart of the number of jobs posted to HN "Who is hiring?" posts (using data from hnhiring.com): https://bsky.app/profile/lemonodor.bsky.social/post/3m4t2b66...

It correlates pretty well with the line showing technology jobs over time in the article at hiringlab.org: https://www.hiringlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/sector_...

The main difference seems to be that the number of jobs posted to HN has dropped significantly lower, well below the low point of 2020. It's really pretty dismal, which seems to have started around the middle of 2022. Maybe the types of jobs that get posted to HN are doing even worse than "technology" in general.
