Recovery in gaming industry hiring and specific job count
Quality of jobs, salary levels, or employment security compared to pre-layoff period
That job availability is the primary measure of industry health

UNVERIFIABLE. ASGC (A Searchable Games Career) tracks job postings, but the specific "13,000 open postings" figure cannot be independently confirmed through publicly available data. The ASGC website exists and provides job resources, but the specific aggregate count is not publicly documented in a way that allows verification. This doesn't mean the number is wrong — it's simply not independently confirmable.

- Teilweise legitim: Hiring-Zahlen als Erholungsindikator ist Standard. Dass Qualität der neuen Jobs unklar bleibt, ist allerdings eine relevante Lücke.
