But in data also being released this week, the American Economic Association
(AEA) is announcing that its job listings in 2010 recovered from a 21
percent decline in 2008. Further, the number of academic jobs exceeded the
number in 2008. (Economics job listings include positions in the finance and
consulting industries, in addition to academic slots.)
The total number of listings with the AEA rose to 2,842 in 2010, up from 2,
285 in 2009, and only 43 jobs shy of the 2008 total. Because many of the
2008 openings that were listed were for searches that were subsequently
called off, the AEA report -- prepared by John J. Siegfried, secretary-
treasurer of the association -- says that it believes job openings are now
above 2008 levels.
New academic jobs increased to 1,884 in 2010, up from 1,512 in 2009, and now
exceed 2008 totals by 24. The vast majority of the academic jobs are at
universities with graduate programs. The top area of specialization in job
listings, by far, was mathematical and quantitative methods, followed by
microeconomics, macroeconomics and financial economics, international
economics, and macroeconomics and monetary economics." | d*****g

There is a backlog from last year, so even if the demand side of Econ PhDs
are up, that's pretty much all we can say. We can't infer anything regarding
the market in general without having some comparison of the supply side as
well. Good luck to everyone else on the market. | D*****a

factor based on my very limited observation..
