I came across this HN jobs scraper site that has a graph showing jobs over time. There's a very visible decline around the end of 2022. When I filter for my specific city it's even worse: the number of jobs has dropped to basically zero.

In retrospect it was obvious this was coming with the Western economies being pumped up on steroids during the first few years of COVID-19.
