Yes, but there are a lot of job ads out there (for good ones!) that are not in the JFP this year (for whatever reason). So the "82" number from the JFP is not a good measure. Plus, many of the non-TT jobs are still decent -- stuff like 3-year renewable, etc.
I'm guessing that anonymous 12:37 of the optimistic comment is not on the market. No one facing this market is excited about the prospects. I'm with 2:27.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

Given that there are several hundred (or more) philosophers looking for jobs - shouldn't this be classified under "Doom"?
"77" is better -- at least album-wise.

So who wins a guitar lesson with the Edge..?

The Smokers seem to have found a larger number on JFP.
Of course, given the reliability of the JFP listings, this may not mean much of anything.
