math job market statistics Looking around online, there are some statistics that foretell doom for PhD students; some examples of this:


the number of faculty to retire in the next 10 years is at the lowest in 30 years.
the number of PhDs awarded is around 100,000, while the number of professor positions open is around 16,000.
there has been approximately 40% budget cut for math between 2008-2011 (but there was a hiring freeze put on most state universities in 2009-2010, if I remember correctly, so this may not be entirely accurate).

The creator of this argues that the number of grad students and postdocs is way too high, while the number of professors is on the decline.

I think that this is not true for math. Postdocs are considered to be a mandatory part in our career (and postdoc positions are quite competitive!), and while many people do a second postdoc, I rarely see people with more than two postdoc experiences. Also, there aren't so many adjunct positions; some postdoc positions are called adjuncts, but these usually expire in 1-3 years. So I would like to know the real statistics. In particular, I want to know these figures for last year (percentages with respect to the number of PhDs will also do):


the number of PhDs awarded (all figures from here onwards applying just to the US)
the number of PhDs hired as postdocs at PhD-producing institutions
the number of PhDs hired as tenure-track professors at liberal arts colleges
the number of postdocs finishing
the number of postdocs hired as tenure-track professors at PhD-producing institutions
the number of postdocs hired as tenure-track professors at liberal arts colleges
the number of postdocs hired as postdocs at PhD-producing institutions


To summarize, I would like to know how harsh the funneling process is in math; I know from experience that many grad students leave academia without obtaining a job as a postdoc. Is the same true of postdocs? How about the tenure-track level?
Almost certainly the best information you'll find is from the AMS Annual Survey: http://www.ams.org/profession/data/annual-survey/annual-survey.  I don't know that it will answer all your questions (in particular, it's mostly focused on newly graduating Ph.D.'s; it doesn't track where people end up after postdocs), but if the data isn't in there, probably nobody has it.
