18% decline in jobs in first AALS jobs bulletin compared to last year

These are individual postings for entry-level, tenure-track law teaching jobs:  143 to 118.  I had expected a "tightening" last March due to the Trump war on the universities, but it looks like the countervailing force (strong applicant pools and law school enrollments) may have helped avert a total collapse.  One unknown is how many, if any, of these positions will get cancelled as the year goes on; also unknown is how many schools will be late entries to the market.
