It's peculiar how the remote jobs graph follows the total graph so closely? Wouldn't you expect to see more noise?

- debacle 4y agoReally what the graph shows is that the downturn in in-person positions has been minimal, but the downturn in remote work has been precipitous.
- tony_cannistra 4y agoThat'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?
- rinze 4y agoNo, they're following the same trend. Remote jobs are consistently 75 % - 80 %.
- ghaff 4y agoThat seems absurdly high if you're talking about fully remote.
- ml_basics 4y agoThere's probably a bias given that this is a website with global reach. For any company posting, almost all readers are not living nearby.
- furyofantares 4y agoWe're talking about advertising for jobs on Hacker News. Maybe there is just not much value to advertising location-specific jobs in these threads.
- ghaff 4y agoYou're almost certainly right. But it also means that the postings are very unrepresentative of the broader market.
- pilarphosol 4y agoThe downturn is hitting all companies and all jobs. It’s bad out there. What’s perverse, and not being discussed enough, is that this is an engineered recession. Rather than admit our economy no longer works, the Fed can alternate between low and high interest rates (inflation or unemployment, take your pick) and so, even though bad things are happening, the fact that it’s different bad stuff each year makes it look like the Fed is doing something.
- jjoonathan 4y agoYeah, well, if they were to heat up the economy some other way than paying rich people to invest, or cool it down some other way than paying rich people to not invest, it would upset the only people who matter.
- marcosdumay 4y agoThis. Somehow those policies became the only acceptable ones a government can issue. Worldwide and through all the societies. It is also an obvious cause of instability, because once you pay rich people to change their investments, it takes a huge amount of time until anything on the real economy changes. I really doubt policy makers run PDI algorithms over their data to attenuate that delay.
- andsoitis 4y ago> Rather than admit our economy no longer works What do you mean our economy no longer works?
- jjoonathan 4y agoSupply side got everything they wanted but the evidence is in: what trickles down is piss, not money.
- gabereiser 4y agoHockey stick deficit growth YoY.
- furyofantares 4y agoIf you graph the % I think it'd look more noisy, at least when I look carefully it's not actually following it as close as it feels when I first look at the graph.
