There are more mid-level and senior level positions opening, but not a great number of entry level librarian positions open. The state of the economy has not helped. Often the positions open at entry level have prefer candidates with post graduate experience. If you are coming out of library school with your degree in hand expect to be flexible about where you work. Be willing to relocate or work in a setting you did not plan to work in.

How many librarians are there in the US?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 158,000 employed librarians in the U.S. in 2006. However, what the bureau calls a librarian may be different from what you think is a librarian. The minimum educational requirement for most librarians is a Masters degree in library or information science from an ALA accredited university. Librarians with this degree (and possibly others, depending on the field they work in) are commonly called a 'professional librarians.' The number above likely refers to the number of professional librarians. Besides professional librarians, there are also a wide range of staff ranging from the people who shelve the books to library supervisors that are called 'librarians' by the public. People in the field may call these people 'library staff', 'paraprofessionals,' or 'library assistants.' So, depending on what you have in mind, the number may be vastly understated. I would probably add another 6 times that amount if you consider 'librarian' to include 'all people who work in a library.'
