I have a program that counts the postings to jobs.perl.org, and I used to post the annual stats for it (mostly to the old use.perl I think). It's been running on its own all along and I wasn't thinking about it.

200…
Every year I count the number of jobs posted to jobs.perl.org (and sometime last year I put it all in github). I make no hard interpretation of these numbers and don't take them to mean anything. I think the rise in numbers up to 2006 are merely from people finding out about the service. I have no thoughts on the decline after that.
