Really what the graph shows is that the downturn in in-person positions has been minimal, but the downturn in remote work has been precipitous.

No, they're following the same trend. Remote jobs are consistently 75 % - 80 %.

That seems absurdly high if you're talking about fully remote.

We're talking about advertising for jobs on Hacker News. Maybe there is just not much value to advertising location-specific jobs in these threads.

You're almost certainly right. But it also means that the postings are very unrepresentative of the broader market.

There's probably a bias given that this is a website with global reach. For any company posting, almost all readers are not living nearby.

That's interesting. To me it actually looks like the opposite. The share of remote work eligible postings as a fraction of total postings seems to be higher than before?
