Jobs for historians?!

Ridiculous, you say? I was encouraged by the concept, although Robert Kelley's "Public History: Its Origins, Nature, and Prospects" is now over thirty years. old. A quick jump to Google reminded me that this was the same Robert Kelley who quite nearly founded Public History as a separate sub-discipline, and has a Public History memorial scholarship in his name at UC Santa Barbara where he created his Public History graduate program back in the 1970's. So this paper presents the thoughts of academic Public History's father in its early years. He himself defines Public History as a nonacademic field, where the questions are asked by others and the research does not occur in Universities, and he was spreading this from his graduate school at a University.
Now, I realize it's a false contradiction. After all, Public History in Kelley's view has existed all along, but Kelley was among the first to formalize training for this unique application of the historical craft. Also, according to Ian Tyrell in Historians in Public, Public Historians largely used to be interested amateurs, associated with local and state historical societies rather than Ph.D.'s. Kelley may have been on to something when he decided that these Public Historians could be more formally trained, prepared for the specific task ahead of them.
I love the concept. The skills of a historian are needed everywhere; in companies, in government, to give a more reflective perspective on the past and better inform decisions for the future. I wonder, though, how successful these "fabian" efforts of change concerning the historical profession have been? I don't know of any historians working for Dow Chemical in Midland (where I'm from) which may be a reason for their incredibly short-sighted decisions of late. Are there Ph.D.'s working in Lansing, in the historical district or elsewhere? I don't know where all these Public Historians from UC Santa Barbara went, unless they simply created Public History programs at other Universities, which is completely contrary to the spirit of the discipline.
