Why are you sure it's the opposite? From the site:

> Here's the number of unemployed per job posting for the 50 most populous metropolitan areas in the U.S.

The title is even "Job Competition" so it's likely the chart is listing the most competitive cities for jobs.

Because there are 4 empty chairs next to one person (and the legend says an empty chair is a job posting)

This is hilarious. None of that shows up on mobile so depending on what device you're viewing this on, your interpretation of the data is completely different.

Oh wow. I completely interpreted it the other way due to mobile as well. Poorly done on their part. Thanks for sharing.

It seems San Jose is the least competitive, with the blue chairs being job postings and the orange people being unemployed job seekers. Thus, four open chairs to one unemployed person, followed by 3 open chairs to one unemployed person.

The title and summary above the listing is rather confusing.

I think the chairs don't show up on mobile.
