The Physics Department at the College of William Mary has made available this very interesting report on the career challenges facing academic couples, especially those in the field of physics. The Report on the Dual-Career-Couple Survey, by Laurie McNeil and Marc Sher, focuses on "the difficulty of finding two professional jobs (possibly two physics jobs) in the same geographic location." The article presents the results of a 1998 survey conducted over the World Wide Web. Based on the responses, the report describes the types of problems that couples in this predicament commonly face and explores possible solutions for both institutions and individuals.
