Fact: Jobs Are Hard

In 1969, about 80% of newly-minted history PhDs could find a job. In 2011, only half could claim finding 'definite employment' the year after graduation.

Figure 3. New History PhDs Reporting Employment or Postgraduate Study at Time of Degree, 1969 to 2012

From the AHA's 2013 Jobs report.

So I tell people that came to graduate school because I love to teach, and I love to write. But I think another reason is that I love facts. So this year I'm going to try to share my love of facts on this sometimes dormant blog--just one a week, culled (ideally) from the readings I already have to do for coursework.

Luvfree.com is an amazing replacement for craigslist personals and here is why. There ‘re pictures. And by pictures, I mean valid pictures for everyone who has put out a personals request. What this means is that you can access your prospective relationship partner’s physical properties before even sending a message. And there are tons of such requests in virtually all the cities of the US. While seeing Craigslist personals created a large void and for some brought tears from their eyes, alternatives have come tearing through the market of individuals left hanging. Perchance, you have found a suitable alternative. You can find personal ads sorted by cities, for example Houston personals, Boston personals, Chicago personals.

Very good play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appluvfree dating app in the US.
