> Does this out-of-whack-ratio mean we have too many English graduates or not enough English jobs? And - while you'd probably knee jerk to the former rather than the latter, I think I could make a compelling case to disagree. Well, that ratio is based on tenure track openings. One wonders how that number changes if you factor in adjunct lecturers somehow. Obviously there's a not a 1:1, but in service departments like that with little research budget, it'd be at least a feasible calculation.
