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

Private industry is by far the largest single employer of scientists and engineers in the U.S. economy, using about two-thirds of all persons employed as scientists and engineers. For the first time in five years, data on the employment of scientists, engineers, and technicians in industry are available. Reported are employment trends, employment…

The data in this report are based on information supplied annually by the U.S. Civil Service Commission. A full report containing more detailed information on employment and occupational trends, work activities, and educational characteristics is prepared by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office. The mean average salary…

This survey was conducted by the Census Bureau under a contract with the National Science Foundation to measure the number of persons working as scientists, engineers, and technicians in the private business sector. A sample was drawn from all active employer establishments in the United States excluding colleges, universities, and governments.…

A survey of the employment and demand for scientists and engineers in industrial research laboratories was made among all companies belonging to the Industrial Research Institute and a number of other organizations early in 1972. A questionnaire was used to analyze such aspects as reliability of future estimates, employment trends, personnel…

Considers that the supply of new scientists and engineers will eventually become limited by the availability of motivated and able young people. Population, enrollment, and employment projections to 1990 suggest that a shortage of graduates will occur in the 1980's. (AL)

Presented is a review of the results of a 1976 survey of 50,000 scientists and engineers made with the intent of measuring changes occurring in the science and engineering (S/E) labor force since 1970. Highlights include: less than 2% of the sample were working on a part-time basis and less than 4% were engaged full-time in non-S/E work. Of the…

Report of the Conference on Changing Career Opportunities for Physicists indicates that prospects for obtaining jobs in physics is not good and will continue to be poor into the mid-1980's and possibly beyond. (SL)

Scientific techniques are applied to the age-old search for abundant and healthful food. (Editor)

Discusses the reasons for the current shortage of jobs for physicists in the United States. Data showing the supply and demand for physicists, and the past as well as projected enrollments of graduate and undergraduate physics students are presented. (LC)

This document discusses and attempts to project scientific and engineering manpower supply and demand trends. Provided are detailed graphical and tabular data relating to science and engineering degrees awarded, enrollment trends, average annual openings for scientific and technical occupations, and projected supply/demand imbalances for…

Findings from an American Chemical Society survey show that the pessimism that characterized the job market in 1983 has given way to a much brighter outlook as employers hire more chemists and chemical engineers. Data from the survey on the supply and demand of chemical professionals are provided and discussed. (JN)

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)

Because of rapid technological advancement broad opportunities and challenges are indicated for future engineers and scientists. (BP)

The primary purpose of the study was to develop and apply a methodology for estimating the need for scientists and engineers by specialty in energy and energy-related industries. The projections methodology was based on the Case 1 estimates by the National Petroleum Council of the results of "maximum efforts" to develop domestic fuel sources by…
