This report presents data from the 2006 Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). The SDR is a panel survey that collects longitudinal data, biennially, on demographic and general employment characteristics of individuals who have received a doctorate in a science, engineering, or health field from a U.S. academic institution. Sampled individuals are…

This report presents data on the characteristics of men and women who received a bachelor's or master's degree in a science or engineering field from U.S. academic institutions during the 1990/91 and 1991/92 academic years. The data were collected in 1993 and reflect the status of individuals as of April of that year. In addition to the…

This report presents national estimates of employment of scientists, engineers, and technicians (SETs) in manufacturing industries in 1983. The estimates are provided as data in five charts and three detailed statistical tables. Data in charts include: SETs by sector of employment; employment growth in high-technology and other manufacturing…

Data from the Survey of Earned Doctorates are presented in 11 charts and 15 tables on science and engineering (SE) doctorate production for the period from 1960 through 1982. Data in charts focus on total SE doctorates; SE doctorates by major field; racial/ethnic identity of 1975 and 1982 SE doctorates; citizenship status of SE doctorates; trends…

This study documents the changes that have occurred in the representation of women in science and engineering and the characteristics of women scientists and engineers. Data from two National Science Foundation databases, the Survey of Earned Doctorates for New Ph.D.s and the Survey of Doctoral Recipients for the science & engineering doctoral…

This article documents the job gains recently experienced in the temporary help industry, and discusses reasons for the increase in demand for temporary workers and factors leading to the growth in supply of workers for temporary jobs. It also discusses differences in the occupational segments of the temporary help market. (CT)

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 report presents an analysis of science, engineering, and technician (SET) employment within manufacturing industries based on data from the 1977 and 1980 Occupational Employment Statistics survey. The purposes of the report are to: (1) summarize employment data for detailed SET occupations in manufacturing to describe demand patterns; (2)…

Many computer, engineering, and health occupations will continue to grow at much faster than average rates, according to the latest projections to 1995 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employment trends and job prospects for almost 200 jobs of every kind are described here. (Author)

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of young doctoral faculty (i.e., received the Ph.D. within the past seven years), the extent of their activity in seeking research support, and the possible reasons for any slackening in their search for support in recent years. Trends based on earlier surveys on the same topic are analyzed.…

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)

Data on the characteristics of scientists and engineers employed by approximately 2,190 higher education institutions and from 19 university-administered federally-funded research and development institutions are presented. These data, derived from the National Science Foundation's 1983 Survey of Scientific and Engineering Personnel Employed at…

This document presents a statistical profile of minority women in science based on unpublished 1980-81 data from the National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences, and from the Scientific Manpower Commission. Areas examined include numbers of minority scientists and engineers, academic degrees, secondary and college participation,…

Information is presented on foreign graduate students, foreign science and engineering (S/E) students in master's-granting institutions. The impact of these foreign graduates in the U.S. labor force is also assessed. The data were obtained from the National Science Foundation-conducted graduate science students and postdoctorates survey of…

This report provides information on the demographic characteristics and employment status of recipients of doctoral degrees granted from June 1980 to January 1983 (who were residing in the United States in February 1981). Information was collected on 39,547 of the 63,022 individuals in the survey sample, yielding a response rate of 63 percent.…
