Figure 9: Ratio of Candidates to Vacancies, 1986-2001

Note: Vacancies are calculated by adding 2/3 of the jobs advertised as possible to the jobs advertised as definite. "Candidates" refers to all candidates except Subscribers Only. Since the Subscription Only option for candidates was eliminated beginning with the 2003-04 Placement Year, all historical ratios have been re-calculated so they will be compatible with future figures (see the 2000-01 figure for ratios calculated using all registered candidates).
