This proposal is designed to provide more information about the sources of employment growth for natural scientists and engineers during 1976-1982. It will provide estimates of employment growth in approximately 200 Standard Industrial Categories for the detailed categories of natural science and engineering occupations used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) during that period. For technical reasons, it is not possible to go back further than 1976 or forward beyond 1983. Employment changes in each occupational category in each industry will be attributed to industry growth or to technological change. This latter category is broadly defined to include two components: changes in production methods and changes in labor inputs induced by changes in salary rates across occupations, including other professional occupations. This project is highly relevant to PRA's program objective of providing useful information about the production and employment of scientists and engineers to the director and other senior NSF officials. The 1973-1982 period is of particular interest because data compiled by the Division of Science Resources Studies indicate that the employment of natural scientists and engineers (NS&E's) in NS&E occupations rose at the rate of 6% per annum, while total employment in the U.S. rose at the much lower rate of 2% per annum. The chief merit of this proposal is its contribution to knowledge about the supply-demand balance for natural scientists and engineers.***

该提案旨在提供有关 1976-1982 年间自然科学家和工程师就业增长来源的更多信息。 它将提供劳工统计局 (BLS) 在此期间使用的自然科学和工程职业详细类别的大约 200 个标准工业类别的就业增长估计。 由于技术原因，不可能追溯到 1976 年以后，也不可能向前推进到 1983 年以后。每个行业每个职业类别的就业变化将归因于行业增长或技术变革。 后一类广义上包括两个组成部分：生产方式的变化和各职业（包括其他专业职业）工资率变化引起的劳动力投入的变化。 该项目与 PRA 的计划目标高度相关，即向主任和其他 NSF 高级官员提供有关科学家和工程师的生产和就业的有用信息。 1973-1982 年期间尤其令人感兴趣，因为科学资源研究司编制的数据表明，自然科学家和工程师 (NS&E) 从事 NS&E 职业的就业人数以每年 6% 的速度增长，而美国的总就业人数则以每年 6% 的速度增长。每年 2% 的低得多的增长率。 该提案的主要优点是它对自然科学家和工程师的供需平衡知识的贡献。***
