Might LinkedIn's business be counter-cyclical?
People are going to be 'networking' most intensely when they don't have a job or are worried about their current job. If there are fewer people looking for a job and those people get pulled out of the market more quickly, there's less money to be made from them.

LinkedIn is not likely to make money out of job seekers. Their fastest growing income stream is LinkedIn Corporation Solutions. I'd assume that headhunting is harder during good times, thus I think they are more cyclical than counter-cyclical.
