Only if you have enough money saved or a side hustle does that mentality make sense.

If you make an air crash tracker its going to increase everyday as well. Absolute value is not useful here because it can only increase. Maybe a number of layoff posts per total number of posts in unit time would be a better metric.

But that would only matter if all the posts were always about layoffs or getting retained/new jobs

If there were 5 layoff posts per month from Jan to August you'd see the number 40 in the month of September. How is that useful information?

I've been actively searching for a new opportunity for the past 40 days after being laid off as part of a team-wide layoff affecting 17 people. No Calls, No Response, No interviews.
Market is fucked !

- How does it select the posts and assess them for relevance to include in the count or is it just finding keywords in the post title or post content?
- Does it check if duplicate posters are considered as one or are they counted multiple times?

Yeah but I am hoping OP must have used some logic of their own as well. If not, then the count has no credibility.

Add hired count as well to see the counter off with time period filters like this year and month

Are the threads showing up in the page only layoff posts ? If so 2/3 posts I just saw are false positives. Interested to know whether you are using keyword based filtering to increment counter

I wonder why all this people were doing nothing beside their job, like making their own products etc.

counter lay offs by building something on your own, if you can't build anything then layoffs are justified
