PLEASE READ-Regarding Job Outlooks

[mith]

If you're here to post a topic asking about job outlooks or future prospects, you probably will not find much information other than personal anecdotes. For data concerning these, it would probably be more helpful to look for the labor statistics provided by the government of the country.

For example, the U.S. government has the Bureau of Labor Statistics
http://www.bls.gov/home.htm
which publishes the job outlook handbook for the U.S.
http://www.bls.gov/oco.

Other resources:
http://www.library.uiuc.edu/edx/EU/laborstats.htm

Try using google to search for "labor statistics" or "labor outlook"

And dont forget to spell it 'labour' if you're from the UK

Very interesting stuff--sad how the job market for PhDs has been hit so hard. I wonder to what extent it is due to too high a volume of PhDs being produced for the job market and academia.
