Abstract	In an effort to document demographic changes in the academic linguistics community, the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) has commissioned an annual report detailing information about job titles, students, degrees awarded, average salaries, and more. The report offers information about trends in student enrollment and employment by industry. Data for the report was compiled primarily from self-reported information to the LSA's online Directory of Linguistics Programs and Departments. It also includes information based on U.S. federal surveys of PhD linguists and institutions, along with data gleaned from the LSA membership database. Trends in linguistics for this year include: (1) The most common career outcome for linguistics PhDs is a position in higher education; (2) Within higher education, departments report that most members of their faculty are full professors, but the non-professorial category is growing, particularly for women in other full-time positions; (3) The field of linguistics is growing most rapidly for undergraduates, with an increase of approximately 120 more students awarded BA degrees annually for the past 14 years; although in recent years, the number of awarded Bachelor's has increased at a slower rate; (4) Most linguistics undergraduate degrees are awarded to women. Women represent over half of graduate students in linguistics, a number which has been increasing over the last 50 years, while women comprise 57 percent of the undergraduate population, surpassing the amount of male undergraduate recipients; and (5) More linguistics degrees, including Bachelor's, Master's, and PhDs, are awarded to White or Caucasian recipients than any other ethnicity. [This edition is based on the original report prepared by Lauren Friedman and Alyson Reed. The data found in this edition were compiled with assistance from Robert Townsend, Dan Foley, and Katherine Hale. For the 2016 report, see ED607311.] (ERIC).
