During the same decade, job openings for people with doctorates in mathematics education increased significantly and currently exceed the supply [5]. In a survey of institutions of higher education conducting national searches to fill mathematics education positions during the 2000–01 academic year, I found 134 announced positions in mathematics education. This article presents some information from the survey and documents the shortage of doctorates in mathematics education.
