The data presented in these tabulations are based on the 1976 National Science Foundation survey of scientific and engineering personnel employed at universities and colleges. The data are contained in 60 statistical tables organized under the following broad headings: trends; type of institution; field, employment status, control, educational…

The annual census of industrial employment, production workers, women, the workweek, scientists and engineers, chemical employment, wages, and productivity in the chemical industry is presented. Trends in the numbers of workers, productivity, and unit labor costs are illustrated in graphs. (CW)

Presented are employment projections in science and engineering. A shortfall is predicted unless more women and minorities can be attracted to science. Projections are based on a number of demographic and educational statistics. (CW)

Detailed statistical data on earned doctoral degrees for 1960-1981 are presented for science/engineering (S/E) fields, although non-S/E fields (such as the humanities) are represented. These data are reported in 10 charts and 15 tables. In addition to total S/E doctorates earned, data in charts address major field, sec, racial/ethnic identity for…

Provides data on industrial employment in the chemical industry, comparing subgroups of production for all employees and for scientists and engineers. Gives company by company sales per employee breakdown. Compares wages among industry subgroups. Cites productivity measures. (JM)

This publication provides data on scientific and engineering (S/E) personnel employed in private industry, which employs about 75 percent of the total work force and over 60 percent of the work force of scientists and engineers. Information on the supply, training, employment, and other personal and professional characteristics of S/E personnel is…

Provides data on employment by sex, degree, and minority status. Compares men's and women's salaries in private industry, academia, and government. Provides breakdown for industrial employment by work function and work specialty, and compares industries. (JM)

Examines the supply and national origin of the holders and near-holders of engineering doctorates who applied to one university engineering department in which extramural research has been emphasized. Compares them with national data on doctoral recipients. (TW)

Salaries and demand for scientists and engineers are described. Comparisons of chemists and other scientists are provided. Resources for career planning in science and engineering are listed. (CW)

This report updates a 1977 study (which explored the status of women in faculty, postdoctoral, and advisory posts) and examines any changes in the status of women faculty between 1977 and 1981. Drawing on more limited data, it also examines their situation in industry. Data for the report were obtained primarily from the 1981 Survey of Doctorate…

Presents the results of a survey of engineers in R&D. Reports 1987 pay raises, highest academic degree, salary range, age and experience for 12 engineering fields. Compares these results to other years. Concludes that many variables led to overall gains for metallurgists and biologists and losses for mathematicians and ceramists. (CW)

Stressing the importance of engineers to the growth of the economy, the building of national defense, and the preparation of future generations for a technological age, this report examines the changes in engineering degree awards from 1972-1984. The document describes these changes from four perspectives. The role of graduates from United States…

Reports salary trends for chemists as of March 1, 1988. Discussions include employment rates, median salaries, growth in salaries, highest salaries, salaries by degree, women's salaries, salaries by work function, unemployment, volume of help wanted ads, and sources of information on chemist jobs. (CW)

During the 1976-86 decade, the annual employment growth rate of chemists in the United States was 4%, well below average as compared with the growth rate for all science fields (8%). This document provides current and historical information on various trends in the field of chemistry. The book is divided into three major sections, dealing…

Designed to provide easy access to information pertaining to science and technology, this data book provides indicators on: (1) funding for research and development; (2) human resources utilization and supply; and (3) international science and technology indicators. Graphs and charts are used to note research and development efforts from a…
