Ywah, I did my degree in the late 2010s and by then I was being DIRELY WARNED that a Classics degree would get me precisely nowhere and that pursuing it even in undergrad should only be a consideration of the heart, not of logic.
Yeah. I finished my PhD in '18. By the time I was finishing, I think my advisor was very much concerned, but his placement rates were quite high and most of his last chunk of grad students had landed well and I think he thought recovery would continue and so we'd land well too.
(I saw 'we' because there were 2 of us in my year and 2 more in the year directly behind us, so we were a sort of mini-cohort of four all under this same professor.)
And you know, I mean, without COVID he might not have been entirely wrong. I know at least three of us (including myself) in our 4-person-cohort landed interviews or campus visits and so very nearly landed the jobs. Had COVID not shut down the market, we might well of done it.
My sense is that it’s plateaued around ~30% for academic jobs, or a little worse depending on exact specialty and other skillsets (languages, pedagogy training, public engagement, etc.) I’m going in aware, at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
