Discussion

 * 1) It would be quite helpful for us all to know how many people and at what stage of their career they are on the job market. I hope the demographics section will help fill in a gap in knowing just how many of us are on the job market in a given year. Other disciplines use this regularly to gauge numbers.
 * 2) It's interesting information on how many people are contributing to the Wiki, but I think it doesn't tell us too much about how many people are on the market.
 * 3) Do we just put a tally next to the category that we fall into?
 * 4) Yes, I think that is a good approach. I added some instructions for this section. The categories may not encapsulate all there is on the job market. I imported them from another discipline's job wiki. We may, therefore, need to add a category here and there to account for the diversity of applicants.
 * 5) Can we move it below the list of jobs posted? It will be tedious to scroll over it once panic season hits, to check for new jobs, updates on the status of searches, etc. (x2)
 * 6) The order has been changed.
