On: Is the tech recession over?

[bd]

I have some more datapoints from jobs aggregated on Joblighted (24 sites):

There were indeed more jobs posted in January 2009. Though probably much of this increase is cyclical. In two previous years there was the same pattern - a decline in December followed by an increase in January.

(Please note that I kept adding job sites, which could hide some of the decline in job postings).
