Graduate students tend to be paranoid about aspects of their careers that are largely under their control: Will I ever finish my studies? Will I sufficiently impress my adviser? But if new research for academic economists holds up, students should also be freaked out by a factor they can do nothing about: the strength of the job market at the precise time they enter it.
Yeah, stop worrying about when you are going to finish your thesis, and start researching on when is the next upturn of the job market, and then time your PHD completion to coincide with it. ... that is why I am blogging and not writting!
