Data from indeed seems to support your anecdotal datum:
"Employer demand for workers remains strong, with Indeed job postings as of June 24, 2022 54.2% above their pre-pandemic baseline. New job postings, defined as those on Indeed for seven days or less, are also well above their pre-pandemic baseline, up 68.3%. While job postings growth has slowed, the leveling out has been moderate."

- ItsMonkk 4y agoJob listings is a terrible metric because it has never been cheaper to have a listing. Listings are nearly double pre-pandemic norms while actual hires are only up slightly from pre-pandemic norms. This implies that each job listing is much less effective than it was. If companies would stop throwing away 90% of resumes because they didn't exactly match the keywords for the job, perhaps this would be better. The bottom line though, is we shouldn't factor listings into any metric in much the same way that me putting a $100 trillion price tag on an item doesn't increase inflation. Track actual transactions.
