"In the current market there are over 378,000 PhDs who, according to the 2020 Survey of Earned Doctorates, there are roughly 45,000 new PhDs each year who enter a PhD program. In the past decade, the PhD job market landscape has changed drastically. In 2010, a quarter of PhDs were getting professor jobs, now less than 5% of PhDs obtain those. Therefore, the purpose of the PhD has changed, but the books that exist for PhDs have not evolved. Existing PhD books in this space discuss common concepts (ie, dissertation writing, getting jobs in academia) that a PhD faces, but none of these books tell PhDs how to navigate the current and evolving job market while giving PhDs hope with empowering advice. Additionally, National Science Foundation notes per https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb20223/figure/HED-11 (S&E doctoral degrees awarded, by selected field: 2000--19.) : "At the doctoral level, the United States awarded the largest number of S&E degrees of any nation....When comparing only natural sciences and engineering doctoral degrees, China surpassed the United States as the world's largest producer of doctoral degrees in 2007 and has remained so ever since."-- Provided by publisher.
