The U.S. Science and Engineering Workforce Employment and Wage Trends

Many congressional policy makers have maintained an ongoing interest in the adequacy of the number of U.S. scientists and engineers required to address the needs of U.S. employers, to spur economic growth and job creation through innovation, to maintain U.S. global technological leadership and industrial competitiveness, and to help address important national and societal needs. This book provides employment, wage, and unemployment information for the computer occupations, mathematical occupations, engineers, life scientists, physical scientists, and S&E management occupations. It also discusses immigration of foreign nationals with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees; and STEM education.
