If you are automatically in
clined your chances of landing a
job in industry or education are
much better than average, in
this period of considerable un-
employment.
The growing need for trained
mathematicians to fill positions
industry and colleges was point
ed up last week in a report by
the Conference Board of Mathe-
NAUTICAL Sciences. 1t called for in
creased federal and industrial
support to relieve the national
shortage of trained specialists.
The output of Ph.D.'s in
mathematics is only about $50
per year, with no increase in
sight. the report notes, even
though the number of under
graduate students enrolled in
mathematics classes is increasing
rapidly.
Employment Of mathemati-
clans in industry has increased
more rapidly than that of any
other occupational group in re-
cent years, but the percentage Of
new fulltime teachers in this
field with doctors degrees had
dropped noticeably in the last
Il years.
The Conference Board recon-
mended increased research funds
and scholarships for beginning
graduate students, and more fell
loWships, too, for graduate stu
cents.
