This report presents data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the United State's doctoral scientists and engineers. This population consists primarily of individuals living in the United States who hold science or engineering doctoral degrees from U.S. institutions. Current estimates of the supply and utilization of doctoral…

This data brief focuses on statistics related to employment of scientists and engineers in 1995. The data is presented in four charts that provide information on: (1) the number of employed scientists and engineers by broad occupation and broad field of highest degree in 1995; (2) percentage distribution of employed scientists and engineers by…

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)

Industry's needs for students with high technology skills are increasing. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts project increases between 1980 and 1990 of 58% in the demand for computer professionals, 28% for engineers, and 24% for engineering technicians, compared with an increase of 17% for all workers. Industrial expansion and replacement of…

The tables contained in this document present data on the characteristics of men and women who received a bachelor's or master's degree in a science or engineering field from academic institutions in the U.S. during the 1992-93 and 1993-94 academic years. The data were collected in 1995 and 1996 and reflect the status of individuals as of April…

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…

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…

The Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT) is a comprehensive and integrated system of information about scientists and engineers in the United States. It comprises data collected through three national sample surveys supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF): The National Survey of College Graduates, the National…

Discusses recruiting and placement statistics for engineering program graduates for the 1998-1999 academic year. (WRM)

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 profiles the demographic and employment characteristics of doctorate-level scientists and engineers in the United States. The data presented were collected through the 1995 Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). The purpose of the SDR is to estimate the number of people holding research doctorates from U.S. institutions in science and…

This report presents data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the nation's doctoral scientists and engineers. Data were developed as part of the Longitudinal Doctorate Project. Current information on the supply and utilization of doctoral personnel in science and engineering reflects the results of the 1997 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)
