| Abstract
| - The 1996 American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA) Employment Services Committee (ESC) survey results reveal that although enrollments are declining in both undergraduate and graduate programs, faculty numbers are increasing. These trends belie the fact that the increase in faculty has come among nontenure track faculty and that the number of tenure track assistant professors has declined markedly because of fewer hires, promotions, and attrition. One result is an aging tenure track faculty. Salaries among all faculty have been increasing at over 2% per year; however, a greater proportion of faculty is in the nontenure track at lower salaries. Key strategies to reverse declining enrollments are for departments to improve diversity, to gather information on placement of students at all levels, and especially to learn more about private-industry placements at the undergraduate and masters levels and about foreign employment at the graduate level.
