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

Between 1966 and 1975, 100,000 scientists and engineers emigrated to the U.S. Of these, 62,000 entered as permanent immigrants and the remainder as temporary visitors, subsequently changing their status to become permanent immigrants. This report summarizes the trends of scientist and engineer (S/E) immigration of the 1966-75 time period and…

This collection of data resulted from a survey conducted by the Engineers Joint Council for the National Science Foundation in 1969. The sample consisted of 86,438 names taken from a list of approximately 350,000 names of members of engineering societies. After statistical adjustments, the survey sample of 44,837 qualified respondents represented…

Summarized is an employment survey, conducted by the Engineers Joint Council for the National Science Foundation. Twenty percent of the membership of 23 engineering societies were sampled. The results are reported as unemployment rates for selected degree and age groups, field of specialization, geographical areas, citizenship, and type of…

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)

Reported are the results of a survey of 98,000 engineers taken to be representative of approximately 500,000 members of engineering societies. Data analysis was done on 59,200 usable questionnaires. The list is believed to have included about 40 percent of the engineers in the nation. A facsimile questionnaire is reproduced at the end of the…

Negro students shun technical fields despite rise in opportunities for them. (Editor)

This report is based on data obtained during the summer of 1969 from 45,000 fully qualified engineers, representing an estimated 308,00 members of the organized engineering profession. The following statements summarize the findings of this study. The largest number of degrees were reported in the fields of electrical and electronic, mechanical,…

This paper reports on a study aimed at finding the rate of job turnover, the causes, and some of the steps that employers can take to try to minimize it. (Author)

Discusses some impacts of the recent increase in female engineering graduates. (MLH)

Although academic employment of full-time scientists and engineers increased by three percent in 1977, more than one-fourth of public and private institutions reported a reduction in employment levels. There appeared to be a shift in emphasis toward applied rather than basic research. The employment of women as full-time scientists and engineers…

Presented are the results of a survey of over 100,000 manufacturing establishments, conducted for the National Science Foundation by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, covering average annual employment for calendar year 1977. Industries whose relative concentration of scientists and engineers was high in 1977, such as petroleum refining, chemicals,…

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…

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.
