Reading this article might be helpful. It is a bit outdated (done in 2006 I think) but I guess the situation has not change too drastically. As far as I remember the two findings from it are that:
1. the demand for Soc graduates is higher than the supply but 2. there is a mismatch between the areas of specialization needed by the Universities and the areas of interest and specialization of the new PhDs.

I've worked mostly on secularization, de-secularization, religion and nationalism as well as religion and national/political identity.
It's really cool to see other people interested in this area of research. Good luck with the publications to everyone.
