Analysis of the job market for Econ PhDs

Resource sharing

Just listend to a YouTube analysis of the job market for Econ PhDs. It was professional, clear, and it offered a very stern warning about the job prospects for new (and recent) doctorates. It is by Chris Brunet and called the Collapse of the Job Market for Econ PhDs.

I don't know if posting a link is permitted but : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmFmiYTD5dI

I can well imagine that this analysis applies to many other field --- tough sledding out there folks.

Do analyses like this impact your decision making or do you see yourself among the few who get the career they trained for ?
