These stats aren't the best option. When a job expires and gets renewed,
we update the date of the posting, so jobs move from month to month if
they're reposted.
brian d foy produced some stats based on mail to the jobs@perl.org list
which are probably better. It seemed like job postings have only gone up
in the past few years. Whether that's the market or simply that
jobs.perl.org has better market _share_ is impossible to know.
