10. want ads are not a good bell weather and heres why

in the dot com bubble days it was nigh unto impossible to find candidates and companies advertised, went to head hunters to see what they could scare up and the result was that any number of ads appeared for the same position.

fast forward to the dot com bust, post 9-11 days

companies are besieged with unsolicited applications and resumes. they don't need to advertise.

I have never gotten a job from an ad in the paper. You are looking in the wrong place folks.
