And so it begins.

The new JFP has been posted online. Well, actually it hasn't been officially posted yet--there's no official link to it on the APA's webpage--but for those enterprising aspiring job candidates who are tricksy enough to look at old JFPs and figure out the super-secret pattern to the URLs, it's there for the finding. (Hint: change the edition number in the URL from 174 to 175. You're welcome, young paduan.)

(In any case, the official link is supposed to be going up today. And the hardcopies are probably already in the mail.)

An early bit of optimism: there are almost exactly as many jobs as last year. The doomsayers who've been predicting a crash in the job market--i.e., a big downturn in the number of available jobs--have been proven wrong for another year. Phew. Thank fucking god. I'm gonna need all the help I can get.
