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 data presented in these tabulations are based on the 1976 National Science Foundation survey of scientific and engineering personnel employed at universities and colleges. The data are contained in 60 statistical tables organized under the following broad headings: trends; type of institution; field, employment status, control, educational…

The tables contained in this document present data on the characteristics of men and women who received a bachelor's or master's degree in a science or engineering field from academic institutions in the U.S. during the 1992-93 and 1993-94 academic years. The data were collected in 1995 and 1996 and reflect the status of individuals as of April…

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…

This report presents an analysis of science, engineering, and technician (SET) employment within manufacturing industries based on data from the 1977 and 1980 Occupational Employment Statistics survey. The purposes of the report are to: (1) summarize employment data for detailed SET occupations in manufacturing to describe demand patterns; (2)…

This publication provides data on scientific and engineering (S/E) personnel employed in private industry, which employs about 75 percent of the total work force and over 60 percent of the work force of scientists and engineers. Information on the supply, training, employment, and other personal and professional characteristics of S/E personnel is…

The Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT) is a comprehensive and integrated system of information about scientists and engineers in the United States.
