Scientists, Engineers and Technicians in Non-Manufacturing Industries, 1993

该项目将提供有关科学家、工程师和技术员(SET)在工业中的就业信息。它将根据劳工统计局正在进行的职业就业统计调查编制国家估计数，该调查提供按行业分列的详细职业就业的年度信息。OES是一项联邦-州合作计划，各州就业保障机构根据劳工统计局的规范收集数据。数据收集周期为三年，按顺序涵盖制造业、非制造业、贸易和受监管(通信、公用事业和交通)行业以及学院和大学。OES数据帮助NSF履行《国家科学法案》规定的任务，开发和维护SET上的人口、教育和就业信息数据库。OES调查是发展这类信息的系统的一个关键部分。因此，调查数据：A.有助于建立美国SET人员的准确概况；B.用于分析科学家和工程师的供求情况；C.用于制定当前对SET就业总数和详细SET领域和行业的估计；以及D.允许识别SET增长领域，以及那些正在衰落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 on-going 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, non- manufacturing, 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 Act to develop and maintain a database 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. helps in developing an accurate profile of U. S. SET personnel; b. are used in analyzing the supply of 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.
