February Highlights

As React wins its ninth month in a row, it appears that we're settling in for a bit of stability at the top of the rankings. The one trend of note in the top 10 is Postgresql entering the top 5, but it has been there before, so it's not a strong threat to keep climbing higher.

Total postings for February were down nearly 20% from last February's all time high of 1008 postings. But, February was still up 15% over January, so no serious sign of any hiring slowness in 2018.
