The time series chart shows a pretty strong decrease in the number of layoffs the last month, which is something I've noticed on the opposite side, where I'm getting a lot more interviews recently. Might just be my imagination though.

Also I did some analysis on this dataset a few months ago, and it seems like layoffs tend to happen near the beginning of the month, but I'm not sure why that would be.

Also, as an aside, this doesn't cover all places and I'd guess smaller startups would be less likely to show up. My last place went from about 45 to 10 employees over the last year (layoffs, RTO bs, terminations for "performance," etc.) and isn't on this list, for example.
