Energy-related scientists and engineers: statistical profile from the NSF national sample, 1976
Characteristics of experienced energy-related scientists and engineers in 1976 and changes in this group from 1974 to 1976 are described. The data come from the 1976 Survey of Natural and Social Scientists and Engineers, conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the National Science Founation. There were 114,895 experienced scientists and engineers indicating that their work was energy-related in 1976, more than in 1974. Unemployment, low at only 1.9 percent of all experienced scientists and engineers, was equally low for energy-related scientists and even lower for energy-related engineers. Females make up 4.8 percent of all experienced scientists and engineers but only 0.8 percent of energy-related scientists and engineers. Energy-related scientists (but not engineers) tend to be substantially older than scientists not reporting that their work was energy-related. Compared with experienced scientists and engineers whose work was not energy-related, the energy-related earned higher salaries, were more often employed by private business, more often employed as managers, and were rather heavily concentrated in the West South Central region. 1 figure, 11 tables.
