In case you haven't seen it yet, we've put up a survey on Science Careers aimed at measuring the outlook of the younger part of the scientific workforce. In early voting, a slight majority of respondents label themselves "somewhat hopeful" about their career prospects, while another big chunk--not quite one third--is "not very hopeful". The balance (about 12%) is split almost equally between "very hopeful" and "despair."
If you haven't already, please participate.
