Thanks @chemjobber.bsky.social for doing the math on this.
The job market is brutal right now, and there don’t seem to be many openings for entry level positions. It has been a challenge to give students career advice.

I speculate on how many students might be impacted by this shrinking of entering classes. If the top 30 schools (40% of overall US chemistry PhD production in 2020*) all reduce their class sizes by 17%, 189 students will ultimately need to find a new home: chemjobber.blogspot.com/2025/11/towa...
