and you can see the monthly postings since may 2001 at:http://jobs.perl.org/about/stats dunno what more you need. trivial to download that and pipe it into a graphing thingie of your choice. a quick eyeballing shows solid growth in each year and never a major long term downslide in postings per month. part of this is due to repeated posts for the same unfilled jobs and also the word keeps spreading about the site and list. more agencies and companies seem to be using it. the only downtrend i see is that december seems to always be a low month but that makes sense.
These stats aren't the best option. When a job expires and gets renewed, we update the date of the posting, so jobs move from month to month if they're reposted.
brian d foy produced some stats based on mail to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list which are probably better. It seemed like job postings have only gone up in the past few years. Whether that's the market or simply that jobs.perl.org has better market _share_ is impossible to know.
