Employment Trends in High-Technology Occupations.

Abstract

The projected decline in the U.S. youth population in the next decade has been well documented. Collee graduates, a primary source for the Navy's unrestricted line officers, in the fields of engineering, mathematics, physical or life sciences, and computer science will be in greatest demand. Such competition may have adverse effects on the Navy's ability to attract and retain its officers. This research assessed employment trends and projections to estimate the severity of this potential problem. Employment is projected through 1995 by industry and occupation. The geographic locations of these high-technology industries and occupations are projected and supply-demand imbalances are identified. Keywords include: (URL)Unrestricted line officer, Projections, Supply-demand imbalances.
