Sign of the Times on the Lateral Market

In February 2009, there were 14 lateral hires reported on this blog.  In February 2010, there were just 5.

A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT:  In February 2007, there were 9 lateral moves reported.  Of course, three years ago, I didn't get quite as many reports about moves as I now get, which is why I still think the contrast between this year and last is more telling.
