This is probably different in different countries and depending on what's meant by tenure. I haven't been keeping track, and we have very few assistant professor positions nowadays (most open positions are directly at associate professor), but I would say quite many have permanent jobs, just not the ones they'd like to have. It's also very different in different subjects, I'm on the faculty-wide appointment board, so I see everything from history, didactics, philosophy, languages.
