*Vacancies are calculated by adding 2/3 of the jobs advertised as possible to the jobs advertised as definite. Since the category of Subscribers Only has been eliminated beginning with the 2003-04 Placement Year, the ratios in this historical table have been re-calculated using the number of candidates excluding Subscribers Only so that all ratios are comparable. In the 2003-2004 Placement Year, there were a total of 165 positions advertised with the Placement Service (155 definite and 10 possible). The status of these searches follows: 137 filled, 6 ongoing, 11 cancelled or not filled, 9 filled but not with a classicist, 2 outcome not reported to the APA.
