The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has issued a “Report Card” (at http://www.amacad.org/binaries/hum_report_card.pdf)
with various indicators of strength and “challenges”. Here’s one tidbit: “Between 2000 and 2009 humanities majors scored 9% higher on the Graduate Management Admissions test than business majors.” I don’t put much weight on figures like that, but maybe parents anxious about the economic status of their children will find it reassuring when one of them goes off and majors in something “crazy wild,” like Classics.
