Describes factors affecting employment in various occupational categories and presents the "Job Outlook in Brief," a 16-page listing of changes in employment, 1982-1995, as well as employment prospects, arranged by occupational clusters. (SK)

Provided are employment pattern data for baccalaureate engineering technology graduates from New York State's engineering technology programs. (SL)

The Interdiciplinary Doctoral Program in Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh conducted a survey of the need for professionals in information science at the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. levels. (JB)

Summarizes the supply and demand data on employment situations for chemists and chemical engineers. Indicates the presence of a better employment picture this year than before. (CC)

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)

Involuntary part-time workers (those who would prefer full-time jobs) account for most of the growth in part-time work since 1970. This increase appears to stem from employer demand for a low-wage, low-skill, flexible work force. (SK)

The trend toward continued job growth will gain strength in the second quarter of 1995, according to a survey of more than 15,000 U.S. businesses. Hiring increases were predicted by 30 percent of the firms, whereas 7 percent expect their work force to decrease.

The job market should be considered as interaction between supply and demand, and not from the perspective of new and emerging occupations. Three recent major post-World War II changes in the human resources posture have tended to create labor surpluses: shift from rural South to urban North, increased number of working women, and the postwar baby…

A conceptual and methematical model was developed to study the preparation of persons holding Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees and to discover the proportion of them who assume academic positions. Data were collected on the number of US and foreign engineering students enrolled, degrees granted, and their employment in academic,…

This study describing trends in library manpower in all types of Ohio libraries, with emphasis on public libraries, used three research approaches: an assessment of the number of librarians in the state compared to the number of library users, an examination of librarians' salary scales, and a questionnaire sent to all Ohio public libraries. In…

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…
