OSTI ID:5275790

This report provides an overview of recent energy trends related to R and D funding, production, and energy use, and the implications for employment of scientists, engineers, and related workers, in a variety of critical fields. It contains an assessment of the adequacy of the supply of qualified personnel needed to carry out required energy-related activities. In addition, there is a summary and review of 10 recent studies encompassing some of the current efforts to identify employment and training needs in various energy areas. The National Energy Policy Plan 1983 specifies two strategies adopted by the Administration for fostering the national goal of an adequate supply of energy at reasonable costs: to minimize federal control and involvement in energy markets while maintaining public health and safety and environmental quality; and to promote a balanced and mixed energy resource system. Carrying out these strategies requires a variety of resources including well-trained engineers, scientists, and technical personnel to perform R and D and related functions. In this regard, DOE continues to provide current and timely information on the adequacy of supplies of personnel for theses activities. This report is a basic source of manpower information for public and private policy makers, energy planners, technical program managers, educators, and legislators concerned with energy issues. Detailed statistical data and estimating methodologies are available either in the appendixes or in the cited source materials. 62 figures.
