This year, I dedicate this song to adjunct professors of chemistry. Your contributions are appreciated by me.
To my American readers, a very happy Labor Day to you and your family. To people in the rest of the world, happy Monday!
1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
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.

(*For the literal-minded, this is a joke. Mostly.)
The interesting thing about this song is that 1) many of the jobs highlighted aren't as prevalent in the US anymore (factory, steel worker, auto worker) and 2) many of the jobs they wanted to thank people for doing are now considered to be 'drains on the taxpayers'. (firefighter, mail carrier, police, teacher).
