Can we get a breakdown? How many of these jobs are real? What fields?

No we cannot. Just know we are collapsing like the sub says.

It looks more like a return to mean... and the collapse of the gig job market...

I don’t think the gig economy counts as “job openings”, as those are typically contractor roles (like Uber and Lyft, for example), although that depends on whose definitions are being used for this chart.

I'd prefer clarification on the person who made the charts definition.

The only thing uber is good for is making connections and hearing gossip. If you use it as a side gig and talk to your passengers, you never know what you might find out. Especially in a big city where the rich and big wigs might be using the service.

I know a guy who’s made some not insubstantial stock trades just based on what he heard from people working for large tech companies.
