Highlights survey results on the status of females in full-time, tenured or tenure track faculty positions in chemistry. Indicates that males still dominate PhD-granting chemistry faculties and that, although the number of women is increasing, the increase is not proportionate to the rate at which they are earning chemistry PhDs. (JM)

Reported are the results of a survey of the economic status of members of the American Chemical Society. Included are employment, salaries, satisfaction, and the status of women in chemical occupations. (CW)

Notes that the number of workers employed in the U.S. chemical industry rose again in 1988. Provides information for the years 1978-88 for the areas of industrial employment, scientist and engineer employment, corporation employment, wages, and industrial productivity. (MVL)

Provided are results of an American Chemical Society survey on members' employment status and salaries. These results are reported by sex, highest degree, minority status, experience level, and work function/speciality. In addition, salaries of industrial chemists and salaries related to supervisory function are reported. (JN)

Highlights data on salaries and employment status of chemists based on results of a 1982 survey of American Chemical Society (ACS) members. Indicates that unemployment has risen slightly and, although salaries are up moderately, inflation tends to wipe out any financial gain. (JN)

Discusses demand for chemists and chemical engineers in 1986 and the first half of 1987. Examines the employment outlook by degree, time of year, industry, and institution. Makes predictions for the next year. Examines the starting salaries for B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. chemists. Discusses inequities by degree, experience, and gender. (CW)

Results of a National Science Foundation survey indicate that developing shortages of science and engineering graduates in the current labor force for the most part do not apply to chemists and chemical engineers. (Author/JN)

Notes that women have earned 20 percent of chemistry Ph.D. degrees in recent years but hold only 4.9 percent of tenure track faculty positions in graduate chemistry departments. Lists faculties with three or more women and with none. Reviews a survey by the American Chemical Society's Women Chemists Committee. (MVL)

Covers four areas that relate to the 1989 employment outlook for chemistry: the importance of the use of computers in undergraduate chemistry education; current demand for chemical professionals; current salaries; and availability of career planning. (MVL)

Traces the decline in employment opportunities for chemists and chemical engineers. Discusses the employment outlook for 1987. Includes information on continuing education opportunities for chemical professionals already employed, the drop in demand for chemistry professionals, the decline in salaries of bachelor's degree chemists, and several…

Estimated supply of secondary biology, chemistry, physics, general science, earth science, and mathematics teachers by state (including American Samoa and Puerto Rico) for 1980-1982 are provided. Data, obtained from state science supervisors, indicates surplus, slight surplus, shortage, critical shortage, or no response in each category for each…

Statistical information, based on the 1978 survey in a series of biennial surveys known as the National Sample of Scientists and Engineers, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and conducted by the Bureau of the Census is presented. Individuals in the field of physical sciences are profiled, including chemists, physicists and astronomers,…
