       Show HN: Historical HN Hiring Data
        
       Hi HN! A few days ago I saw a graph[0] that showed the # of job
       postings on HN was declining. I started wondering what other trends
       I could glean from the data, so I created this!  You can filter
       through the top level comments by keyword; for example you can
       filter by "remote" to see the massive spike around March 2020.
       Another interesting thing I found is that I can compare hiring
       across cities.  I hope you enjoy! I made it so that the links to
       your search are sharable so if you have some interesting data you
       should be able to just link the page you're on!  [0]

         | want to be hired remote.

         | embedded comments would be around 2GB, which most people
         | probably do not want to download.

       | Very nice! Could you perhaps add a third data point, which is
       | total number of comments on HN? That would help indicate how much
       | of the variability is due to overall traffic.

         | Thanks! Yeah, I'm working on adding an option to normalize
         | everything by some measure of activity around each data point.

       | Filtering by "remote" shows a very different picture.

       | Interesting to see the trends on YC are pretty much the same as
