@asanews.bsky.social issued their annual job market and the news is bad. Stitching all the reports' TT job data together, the 2025 academic year was the worst on record. 2016 was the high water mark in recent memory. Since then, US TT sociology jobs have been going the way of the humanities.

I'm proud to serve as a named plaintiff in the ACLU's latest legal challenge to the Trump administration's policy of terminating NIH grants on ideological, not scientific, grounds, including a large grant on which I served as principal investigator last year. www.aclu.org/press-releas...
