The October edition of "Jobs for Philosophers" is available here for those who are APA members. (For non-philosophers: JFP is a publication of the American Philosophical Association; all academic posts in philosophy are advertised in one of the issues published during the year. Most are advertised in the October and November issues, so they are the ones most closely watched by job seekers.)
Brian Weatherson has some initial comments on the October JFP here. It's too soon to know whether total jobs will be up this year (we'll have to wait to November for that), but the fact that the October JFP is way up from last year is certainly a good sign. (Another question will be, of course, how the jobs divide up in terms of tenure-track and tenured, and tenure-stream versus temporary.)
