Abstract
The labor market projections of Bowen and Sosa's Prospects for Faculty (198 9) are assessed by testing their assumptions about faculty supply and deman d against data from the last decade. Improvements to the model are recommen ded, including the use of an inventory-attrition model to account for backl ogs of supply.
