Ellis, Susanne D. – 1979
The types of positions that physicists accept to start their careers are evaluated through a survey conducted by the American Institute of Physics. It is suggested that the economic recession and declining job market has had an effect on the transition from a physics education to the start of a career. The amount of time spent by 1977-78 physics…
