A new study from the American Political Science Association looks at the job prospects for those with PhDs in political science. Their focus is in higher education (where the majority of PhDs wind up working), and find that the market has grown by 20% in the last few years, with the highest demand for those trained in American politics. This is particularly true for undergraduate institutions, where small departments see American politics as a vital part of their political science offerings.
I would guess that this growing demand might be present in other disciplines as well, as the baby-boomer generation begins to cycle out of workforce, leaving educational slots to be filled. Read the piece here.
