Question about a Ph.D from Europe

[Alina W. Klin]

Dear All,
One of my former students who is completing his MA degree in political science in Wrocław (Poland) would like to continue studying there and obtain a PhD.
However, he wonders about his chances for employment once he is back in the States with his Ph.D degree from Poland. I am including his question in this email and I would appreciate your advice on this matter. I am going to forward your comments to him. Thank you very much - Alina Klin

Here is the question: 
I'm actually wondering if you have any thoughts on how PhDs from European universities are viewed/accepted in the US. There was a professor that gave a workshop during one of my semesters here, and he said while the masters degrees from Europe are accepted readily, but that if I do a PhD to come back to the US to do it. What are your thoughts on this matter?
