The Effects of Economic Growth and Technological Change on the Demand for Scientists and Engineers

本提案旨在提供更多信息 关于自然科学家就业增长的来源 1976年至1982年，工程师。 它将提供 就业增长约200标准工业 自然科学的详细分类和 劳工统计局使用的工程职业 (BLS)在那段时间里。 由于技术原因， 可以追溯到1976年以后，也可以追溯到1983年以后。 2004年各职业类别的就业变化 行业将归因于行业增长或 技术变革。 后一类的定义很广 包括两个组成部分：生产方法的改变， 工资率变动引起的劳动投入变动 职业，包括其他职业。 该项目与PRA的计划目标高度相关 提供有关生产的有用信息， 雇用科学家和工程师担任主任， 其他NSF高级官员。 1973-1982年期间， 特别令人感兴趣的是， 科学资源研究表明， 自然科学家和工程师（NS E）在NS E职业 年增长率为6%，而 美国的年增长率要低得多，为2%。 这项建议的主要优点是它有助于 关于自然资源供需平衡的知识 科学家和工程师 **

This proposal is designed to provide more information about the sources of employment growth for natural scientists and engineers during 1976-1982. It will provide estimates of employment growth in approximately 200 Standard Industrial Categories for the detailed categories of natural science and engineering occupations used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) during that period. For technical reasons, it is not possible to go back further than 1976 or forward beyond 1983. Employment changes in each occupational category in each industry will be attributed to industry growth or to technological change. This latter category is broadly defined to include two components: changes in production methods and changes in labor inputs induced by changes in salary rates across occupations, including other professional occupations. This project is highly relevant to PRA's program objective of providing useful information about the production and employment of scientists and engineers to the director and other senior NSF officials. The 1973-1982 period is of particular interest because data compiled by the Division of Science Resources Studies indicate that the employment of natural scientists and engineers (NS&E's) in NS&E occupations rose at the rate of 6% per annum, while total employment in the U.S. rose at the much lower rate of 2% per annum. The chief merit of this proposal is its contribution to knowledge about the supply-demand balance for natural scientists and engineers.***
