The SCHOLARLY SOCIETIES: How do they approach the job market?

I include these links to show a selection of responses to the job market among different disciplines in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. See where your society stands among the others. Some scholarly societies have only scratched the surface of new professional development issues. The Modern Language Association grad students have taken the lead in demanding attention to their labor issues, and the job market they face as Ph.D.s. Several societies have undertaken occupational studies of their membership, and follow-up studies of their recent doctorates. Such information is potentially vital to students considering upper-level graduate work.
