Remember that jobs are a lagging indicator.


What do you think is going to happen to all the people who got laid off?


If they work in IT they have a much better chance of finding a job than anyone else does right now - because of the long-term trend of labor shortages in IT.


Or, the tech industry is subject to its own efficiency; a poetic justice of sorts.


Unemployment is the lagging indicator, not job postings.
