libertangoThe standard layout for classified ad sections is 10 columns.
Number of columns of computer-related want ads in the Seattle Times Sunday edition: 6
Number of columns of computer-related want ads in the Los Angeles Times Sunday edition: 6, but with half the space taken up by a display ad for a job fair.
Number of columns of computer-related want ads in the Orange County Register Sunday edition: 2
Damn.
Especially when you consider two things: the Reg and the LA Times have no ads by agencies, and the LA Times covers a metro region that is... what, 5 times bigger than Seattle? About 15 mil vs 3 mil, or thereabouts?
I guess this means the job market in Seattle isn't any markedly worse than it is here. If anything, it may well be better.
Damn. :)
