It is indeed, judging by the HN Who Is Hiring / Wants To Be Hired comment ratio [1].

I commented on this when you initially posted it, but you really need a Y axis for this graph. Also if its a ratio, which way is it? A double bar or double line chart would probably be easier to interpret.

I don’t mean to be rude but honestly the graphic is entirely uninterpretable. No labels, no explanation. I can’t make sense of it.

This really needs more than just a time axis, it's impossible to know what it's trying to tell you. Does a higher bar mean more applications? More jobs? Less jobs? Can't understand it at all

[withinboredom]

It would help to explain what the axis is. Is higher more seekers or more jobs?

[BillFranklin]

Higher is more jobs

[CRConrad]

So what units does it show? Are, say, those two little green blocks down on the lower right (May this year?) two jobs more than seekers? Two percent more jobs? Two times...?

Without that, it still says pretty much nothing.

That is an interesting graphic. Maybe one cannot use it to say things about the global economy, but definitely about the software economy (in the western hemisphere).

Thanks for doing this! I'm a bit confused by the readme:

"This script outputs how many job seekers there are vs how many jobs."

Isn't it actually showing the ratio of jobs / job seekers? It does seem so by the chart and the code but the text makes it sound the opposite. (Or is it my wrong reading?)

[xnx]

"vs" doesn't specify any numerator/denominator relationship, just that two things are being compared.

Just commenting to say that is awesome (both idea and execution).

Very cool!
