National Science Foundation This is a great link to science career statistics provided by the National Science Foundation. It contains links to other science stories, opportunities and societies through its homepage. http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/showpub.cfm?TopID=14 Occupational Outlook Handbook This online report contains a massive amount of career statistics. It takes some practice to get use to searching effectively on the site, but you can find everything from descriptions of careers, to average salaries, to education information, to predicted job growth for thousands of occupations. If your eyes grow weary from staring at the computer screen, you can order a copy of the handbook for a little over $60. http://www.bls.gov/oco/ Science and Engineering Indicators This report provides information on the careers of the nation's science and engineering graduates. Statistics on pre-college science and math test scores, college achievement, science and technology funding, and public sentiment towards science are included in this NSF report. http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/seind04/start.htm |
