After two years of slight growth, hiring for faculty positions and other full-time jobs in English and foreign languages was down year-over-year, according to a new report from the Modern Language Association.
The annual report is published in the Job Information List each fall and includes all jobs advertised with MLA for this academic year (reflecting ads posted during the most recent hiring season). Although not every job is advertised with the MLA, the vast majority of full-time, tenure-track positions are, making the list a trusted indicator of the job market.
Although the MLA had projected continued job growth in foreign languages based on the number of ads posted early in the season, the final count showed a decline in both editions of the report from the previous year.
