Daily Pump Trap: Well, not really
Ignore the orange bars; it's the blue bars that are key. Note the drop for the first part of April, with the spike for the recent Merck dump. A real DPT later today, hopefully.
This week I sent another pointed email to ACS Careers about what amounts to their disrespect for their job-hunting clientele by publishing page after page of Merck crap having no relation to chemistry. Does the Merck fee trump common sense service?
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs somehow.

ReplyDeleteThis week, I too e-mailed ACS Careers along similar lines.
