This report presents a broad picture of the characteristics of scientists and engineers (S&Es) outside academia and how these characteristics changed between 1980 and 1990. Data for this report come primarily from National Science Foundation tabulations of 1980 and 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples of the decennial census. Around one-third of…

This report looks at the characteristics of science and engineering (S/E) Ph.D.'s employed in business and industry. Data are presented from the 1973 and 1977 Surveys of Doctorate Recipients on demographic characteristics, academic background, the type of job held within business and industry, and the primary work actually performed. Contrasts…

This data brief focuses on statistics related to employment of scientists and engineers in 1995. The data is presented in four charts that provide information on: (1) the number of employed scientists and engineers by broad occupation and broad field of highest degree in 1995; (2) percentage distribution of employed scientists and engineers by…

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…

The number of scientists and engineers employed at universities and colleges has shown an increase in each of six consecutive surveys conducted between 1965 and 1975. Since 1965 the number of those employed full-time has expanded from 142,700 to 239,000 or 68 percent, while the number of part-time scientists and engineers grew from 36,200 to…

This report provides detailed statistical profiles of students from several major countries who were doctoral recipients in science and engineering at U.S. universities and the initial intent of these foreign doctoral recipients to locate in the United States after graduation. The statistical profiles included in this report contain two tables for…

Supply and demand considerations will affect the labor market for doctoral scientists and engineers in the United States over the next 10 to 15 years. These changes will be due in some measure to projected slow growth in R and D funding, which will result in a lower growth rate in the demand for personnel with advanced R and D capabilities, the…

This report profiles the demographic and employment characteristics of doctorate-level scientists and engineers in the United States. The data presented were collected through the 1995 Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). The purpose of the SDR is to estimate the number of people holding research doctorates from U.S. institutions in science and…

This report presents data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the nation's doctoral scientists and engineers. Data were developed as part of the Longitudinal Doctorate Project. Current information on the supply and utilization of doctoral personnel in science and engineering reflects the results of the 1997 Survey of Doctorate…

The purpose of this report is to assemble basic statistics on highly qualified manpower resources in Canada, especially focusing on scientists and engineers, for the development of policies and research in this field. The economic background contributing to the growth of the white-collar and professional labor force is discussed, and the roles of…

A survey was done to determine nationwide salary averages and distributions for seventy-eight work level categories covering nineteen occupations in private industry. Occupational groups included accountants and auditors, attorneys, buyers, personnel management, chemists and engineers, technical support, and clerical. Results showed that the…
