There is a dramatic increase in the number of new PhDs. And this trend is going to increase into 2007 in the US. What does this mean? There is a huge supply of PhDs looking for work, but unfortunately only a limited number of job openings. Huge supply but low demand. From the statistics, more PhDs are getting into industry than academia. You can also see the salaries of the professors at various US universities. How does that compare to Canada? Here's the 2003-4 stats of Canadian professor salaries as compiled by Statistics Canada.
Interesting trends and information to keep in mind when applying for academic positions for next year.

wow! It has been a long time since I have heard somebody talk about Phd with such passion. I didnt quite understand everything but the passion flows throughout the and it is amazing to see someone be so in depth about something. I can feel it, if that makes any sense.
