Too many physics PhDs?

Abstract

This year and next a larger percentage of PhDs are going to have to get jobs in industry. But most companies do not really want the sort of physicist turned out by the universities. The easy solution is to cut back the number of PhDs, but a more effective alternative would be to train PhDs in a manner more useful to a large number of employers.
