Naukri.com's Report on Current Hiring

Recently Naukri.com Reported that hiring in current season has gone down by 3.9%. This comparision is between October 09 with September 09. So what is the reason behind this dips?? I think Most of the candidate who is applying job through naukri.com or other job portals are not aware of this fact. They are just uploading thier CVs on these sites.
