📊 Sneak Preview: Job data
I had a couple of follow-up coffee chats with people I talked to back in 2022. The conversations were very insightful again.
However, the perception of the current economic situation was surprisingly different for each person I’ve talked to.
So, I decided to have a look at some data. I started analyzing the job postings on Hacker News and collected other economic data from different sources.
I’m still not done with the analysis, but here are some preliminary findings:
- The oft-cited story of overhiring during Covid and the subsequent job cuts is supported by the data
- The situation appears to have stabilized since the second half of 2023, albeit at a low level
In other news, Walmart’s Ibotta IPO’d with a rise of 17% on the first day.
Expect a more detailed analysis of the job data in one of the next newsletter issues.
