The number of jobs postings on LinkedIn could be a terrible sign for the economy

Question: Couldn't a lower number of job postings on LinkedIn also be attributed to other sites picking up those postings? Indeed, Glassdoor etc.

Indeed doesn&#x27;t seem to agree: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indeed.com&#x2F;jobtrends&#x2F;industry" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indeed.com&#x2F;jobtrends&#x2F;industry</a><p>One quarter over quarter it seems more mixed, but then again seasonality: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indeed.com&#x2F;jobtrends&#x2F;industry&#x2F;quarter" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indeed.com&#x2F;jobtrends&#x2F;industry&#x2F;quarter</a>

The submission is blogspam of the Barron&#x27;s report, which ironically focuses more on stock prospects: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.barrons.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;linkedins-online-job-postings-may-be-worst-since-2009-1465298237" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.barrons.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;linkedins-online-job-posting...</a><p>The submitted headline is mostly correlation (between economic conditions and # postings) implying causation, in the same vein as Google Trends. Hiring is a seasonal process.

Peter Schiff has been out there calling each of these economic bubbles every time. Not with date setting of course, but we do know The Fed&#x27;s policy making creates boom and bust cycles. The 2008 bailout still has to unwind at some point.<p>Video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tBJ31G6FdhQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tBJ31G6FdhQ</a>

What poor timing to announce a research note about slowing prospects for LinkedIn... Hours later stock rallies 47% on a buyout!
