Notice no crash is evident when querying for any one of the terms: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=engineer&l= http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=engineering&l= http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=programming&l= Thus there's something funny going on

I see a downturn when looking at a single term.

I have seen a lot of freelancers on Twitter tweeting that they have availability. So, another potentially interesting data point.

I'm fairly certain that your subjective opinion of things you've seen on twitter doesn't count as "data".

Absolutely true: it's the basis for a hypothesis more than anything. "Are there more availability tweets on Twitter in the last month than previous months?" However, if OP wants another data source to show what the Indeed graph is showing, using Twitter might prove interesting (or not)

That could also just mean that more people are going freelance, which if true could also explain the down trend in job postings on indeed if more employers are working with freelancers instead of hiring.

It could also mean that there's so much work that all a freelancer has to do for business development these days is tweet and get tons of work.
