HigherEdJobs.com publishes the Higher Education Employment Report each quarter to help administrators, policy makers, and journalists who cover higher education better understand current trends in higher education employment. Those seeking employment in academia may find the data and analysis helpful as well.

Key findings from the report for Q1 2009:

  • Despite a dramatic fall-off in general U.S. employment over the last 18 months, the total number of jobs in higher education has remained relatively stable.
  • While higher education employment has remained relatively stable, the number of advertised job openings in the sector has decreased significantly.
  • During Q1 2009, colleges and universities shifted their hiring towards faculty and away from administrative hires.
  • Colleges and universities continue to hire an increasing percentage of part-time employees, decreasing their percentage of full-time employees.
