RE: OT -- the volume of job postings is way down

> Is this because of the recession / dot-com collapse,
Yep. The dot-com collapse freed up a lot of DBAs and they finally decided that moving east was better than living on the streets of San Francisco. There are still a few openings out there, but nobody wants to move to Memphis since Elvis died.

> What are these HR people doing?

As little as they always have.
