Here's an example of an excellent job market.

That's funny, one of my siblings is a private practice radiologist in a major city out west, and he told me just last week the radiology job market has tanked. His group gets called every day by job seekers but they aren't hiring. The group he worked for previously (in a different major city out west) hasn't hired a single new radiologist this entire season, which is astonishing. Apparently the number of jobs posted on the major rads job board has plummeted. One of my cousins in the midwest is married to a recently graduated radiologist. They live near a major city, but he had to take a job almost two hours away. He keeps a separate apartment there and comes home when he can. It's a living.
His take is that the seemingly unbreakable radiology job market of the past 10+ years allowed residency programs to ramp up trainees tremendously. Unfortunately, cuts in reimbursement (with more looming), competition with non-rads groups who buy their own imaging equipment, and increasing productivity per radiologist, are driving their job market back to 1996. For those unfamiliar, 1996 was a year when the radiology job market made the pathology job market look like the dermatology job market.
That was his opinion, anyways.
Hey Unty, you should contact this PA group and see how many CVs they have received.
