An important article by Daniel S. Greenberg is now available online. It is available on the World Wide Web from MIT's Technology Review magazine. The article is available in the February - March 1996 issue of Technology Review. Please read the article and get busy. I have been continuing to read Science and Engineering Indicators - 1993.
Little information is available on attachment rates of U.S. scientists and engineers.
The rate was below 10 percent for social science majors. This occurs after academic preparation and in-field experience that is comparable to that required to become a medical doctor or lawyer. One of my sources recently reported that U.S. Representative Donna Ischou in the San Francisco bay area of California was talking about the looming shortage of over 400,000 scientists and engineers. That would be nice, if it were actually occurring. The corporate realities that I and many colleagues are acquainted with are very different.
