It came up in a post yesterday about the US Federal Reserve Interest Rate having a significant impact on tech hiring. I used the HN api to pull down the posts for "Who's Hiring" and "Who Wants to be Hired," then added the Fed interest rates to see how well it mapped. The results were pretty interesting.

Oof, that last "Who's Hiring" is brutal. Not unexpected, but still it's alarming how much it has dropped off. I wonder what the stats look like on the more mainstream job board services.

"Q3" just started, so that's 1/3 of the posts that will eventually make up that bar.
