The want ads are perhaps the most honest part of a newspaper – the editors have little say in what gets written. The obituaries are interesting to me. I hear they are written years ahead of time, except for the part about how and when the person died.

Bo Keely expands:

it brings out something i didn't know: check various market in the want ads. that's as sure as hobo's checking the 'help wanted' ads when he rolls into town and decides whether or not to stay.

it would seem to me, and i don't have time now or i'd do it, to be simple to study and test a few newspapers' classified ads to find something that correlates either to a specific or the general market. if something were found it would likely be consistent. beats the moon.
