#2Interesting. A few followup thoughts:
- Can you share this analysis across a longer time span?
- Maybe there's a way to normalize it to general activity on HN? It probably hasn't gone down, but it would be cleaner to do that.

#3That's a nice way to visualize it. To me the best way to check the market conditions is to check your LinkedIn inbox.
The number of recrutiers spamming with job offers has gone way down. I even had a situation where the recruiter who was supposed to hire me, got laid off during my final interview alongiside a big chunk of the company...

For starters. There are so many possibilities here that any attempt to even think of a trend let alone what it's caused by, is wrong :) On the other hand: without knowing number of users, number of who's hring posts, when they were posted, location, ...: still really hard to give any sensible meaning to it. Just nice to look at.

Really what the graph shows is that the downturn in in-person positions has been minimal, but the downturn in remote work has been precipitous.

That's interesting. To me it actually looks like the opposite. The share of remote work eligible postings as a fraction of total postings seems to be higher than before?

No, they're following the same trend. Remote jobs are consistently 75 % - 80 %.
