Future energy-sector manpower demand in the United States: 1976--1985
Future manpower requirements for producing energy in the 1976--1985 time period are analyzed by the National Science Foundation's Energy Planning Model (ESPM), which projects resource requirement schedules from projected energy mixes. Data are developed to forecast energy demand by market and energy supply by primary fuel source. Results indicate that manpower supplies will be adequate, although some regional imbalances will occur in specific crafts and locations during the late 1970's. New energy facilities will require more construction and skilled workers, but fewer operating and maintenance personnel. The implications for employment opportunities are that a major investment in the energy sector will contribute toward job creation and reduce unemployment. International energy facilities are not seen as a problem for meeting domestic manpower needs. (DCK)
