Nice work, if you can get it
Article Abstract:
Predictions in 1990 of a shortage of professors in the humanities and social science field in the US have not materialised. The prediction was based on increasing retirements and a growing university population; however, the shortage was offset by the downturn in the US economy, falling university enrolments, and education spending cuts.
