"The mismatch between humanities Ph.D.s and suitable openings, described by James Piereson and Naomi Schaefer Riley ("Covid Makes Doctorates Harder to Get -- and That's Good," op-ed, Feb. 6), applies to the natural sciences as well.
A newly minted science Ph.D. has about a 1-in-50 chance to eventually land a tenured faculty position.
This situation has existed for decades and was described in "The Overeducated American" by Richard B. Freeman in 1976. If anything, the job market for Ph.D.s has deteriorated since then." [1]
