That’s just one or two bottom of the barrel top 10 grad students don’t worry about it. Most of top department still take a 33 at a teaching school.
There are some job openings at teaching institutions but nobody wants to be there. Better to be in the data analysis section at an insurance company.
Really, after spending 5-7 years working on a PhD in political science the typical recipient of that degree nowadays in the U.S. would rather work in data analysis at an insurance company than teach 3 or 4 political science classes per semester at a 4-year college?
If you are right, there is one massive and serious mismatch between the career a political science PhD prepares you for versus what recipients of a political science PhD want to do. -

I have no idea why they started a PhD in general, let alone political science, if that’s the case.
