<p>It has been tough for Chemistry majors over the past few years. There is a [Chemical</a> & Engineering News article](<a href=“http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i4/New-Bachelor-Level-Chemists-Face.html"]Chemical”>http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i4/New-Bachelor-Level-Chemists-Face.html) from January of 2013 that discusses it.
