I've been wanting to make a chart with rank/school along the x-axis and % employed (minus school-funded) along the y-axis, and I finally got around to doing it for the first 25 schools this morning. One caveat is that for schools like Yale subtracting school-funded positions is misleading because their school funded positions might really lead to good jobs, but I felt if I did it for all the others, I should do it for HYS, too. A few of the school-funded positions elsewhere might also be legitimate, but I know at my school, CLS, for example, school-funded positions are a last resort for the vast majority of people in them, so I think it is safe to subtract them.
Also, my real interest in doing this is to compare schools in the second, third, and fourth tier because I want people to be able to easily see which schools offer greater or lesser job prospects in spite of their rank. Oh, and for schools that were tied, I alphabetized them and assigned them to descending ranks (eg, Berk=7, Penn=8, UVA=9) so you could see each one easily. I will be adding charts for the rest of the schools over time. Okay, here it is:
