Survey of Scientists Engineers and Technicians in Manufacturing Industries, 1992

该项目将提供科学家、工程师和技术人员（SET）在工业中的就业信息。它将根据美国劳工统计局（BLS）正在进行的职业就业统计调查（Occupational Employment Statistics Survey）制定全国估计数据，该调查每年按行业提供详细职业的就业信息。OES是一个联邦-州合作项目，由州就业保障机构按照劳工统计局的规定收集数据。数据收集以三年为一个周期，依次涵盖制造业、非制造业、贸易和受监管的（通信、公用事业和运输）行业以及学院和大学。OES数据帮助NSF履行其在《国家科学基金法》下的职责，即开发和维护一个关于SET的人口、教育和就业信息的数据库。OES调查是开发此类信息系统的关键部分。因此，调查数据：a)有助于建立美国SET人员的准确概况；B)用于预测科学家和工程师的供需；c)用于制定当前对SET就业总数和具体SET领域和行业的估计；和d)允许识别SET增长领域，以及那些正在下降或以其他方式变化的领域。//

This project will provide information on scientist, engineer, and technician (SET) employment in industry. It will develop national estimates from the ongoing Occupational Employment Statistics Survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) which provides annual information on employment in detailed occupations by industry. The OES is a Federal-State cooperative program in which State Employment Security Agencies collect data following BLS specifications. Data collection occurs on a three-year cycle, sequentially covering manufacturing, nonmanufacturing, and trade and regulated (communications, public utilities, and transportation) industries and colleges and universities. The OES data help NSF meet its mandate under the National Science Foundation Act to develop and maintain a data base of demographic, educational, and employment information on SET. The OES surveys are a key part of the system for developing such information. Thus, the survey data: a) help in developing an accurate profile of U. S. SET personnel; b) are used in projecting supply and demand for scientists and engineers; c) are used to develop current estimates of SET employment in total and by detailed SET field and industry; and d) allow identification of SET growth fields, and those in decline or otherwise changing. //
