This is why I love HN. There's always certain niche industries and companies hiring even in a recession.

just because there are job listings, doesn't mean there are actual vacancies. Way too often companies have job listings just in case, so that they don't miss a top of the line candidate.

So you can have a company, which just laid off 40% of its work force, with dozens of job listings up for grabs.

Also you have to keep in mind, that even if there is a job there, the competition is that much worse now.
