betahat is on the way!
Thank you for the aggregate information on Chicago, but it why doesn't Chicago publish it's full record of placements each year (i.e. a list of where everyone who was formally on the market went) as many of it's peers do?

From the aggregate we can tell things like: 51% get academic jobs, 28% of academic placements are in top 20 schools (14% of total placements are top 20). So on average around 3 of Chicago's students get a top 20 job each year.

However, we can't see if those 2-3 good placements are always in the same field, which schools in the top 20 Chicago's placing at, or the kinds of academic jobs the other 70% are getting.

We expect any top department to do well by it's top students. What happens to that next bracket of students (top 10, but not top 5)?
