The employment outlook for chemists and chemical engineers is clearly improving. Data supporting this conclusion are presented. (Author/RH)

Reports on employment statistics of minority groups among doctorate level scientists, engineers, and scholars indicating field of employment and minority representation in each field. (GS)

Highlights findings from the National Science Foundation's "1982 Postcensal Survey of Natural and Social Scientists and Engineers." Indicates that, from 1972 to 1982, employment of scientists and engineers increased 4 percent per year. However, these employment gains do not reflect the picture for chemists or chemical engineers. (JN)

Discusses assistance offered to professionals by the Technology Mobilization and Reemployment Program and the Technology Utilization Program. Indicates most of such job help programs have been terminated under present job situations and their chances of recovery are slight. (CC)

Summarizes the supply and demand data on employment situations for chemists and chemical engineers. Indicates the presence of a better employment picture this year than before. (CC)

Cites statistics of a National Science Foundation report on scientists and engineers in 1974. Reports that chemists are better educated, older, have a better chance of being employed, and do more work for industry, than other scientific personnel. (MLH)

According to a recent study made by the National Science Foundation (NSF), racial minority groups represented about 4 percent (or 53,000) of the 1.3 million scientists and engineers in the U.S. labor force during both 1970 and 1972. The bulk of the minority chemists were in two groups: 2900 were of Oriental descent, and 2100 were blacks. (MLH)

The pattern of who conducts university research is likely to change as universities cope with stabilizing undergraduate and graduate enrollments and tighter research budgets. Universities will hire an increasing number of scientists and engineers in temporary research appointments that are neither part of the regular tenure track nor postdoctoral…

Analyzes job situations for chemical professionals on the basis of the survey findings obtained by the Chemical and Engineering News and the College Placement Council. Indicates a slight recovery in employment in 1973. (CC)

Provides an analysis of 13 job layoffs, each of which involved the job termination of three or more chemists or chemical engineers. (SL)

Discusses the employment outlook for scientists and engineers as reported by manpower experts speaking at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The demand for scientists and engineers is increasing while the supply of graduates is decreasing, however, academic and BS level jobs remain scarce. (JR)

The numbers of scientists/engineers employed at colleges and universities continue to grow, although not so rapidly as their numbers grow in the federal and industrial sectors. This is the conclusion of a survey from the National Science Foundation covering data collected in January 1982. Other survey highlights are reported. (JN)

Discusses a report which concludes that the number of science and engineering Ph.D's in the labor force will increase nearly 50 percent by 1987, while the number of "traditional" employment positions will increase only 35 percent, forcing more and more of the degree holders to work outside their fields. (GA)

Explains that the High-Technology Recruitment Index, a source of information on employment demand for engineers and scientists, shows a very healthy job market for scientific and technical professionals. This has been the case for almost a year, although a decline in the trend in the near future is presented. (GA)
