• The most recent studies of the future S& E job market (that take into account defense downsizing) yielded the following conclusions for 1990-2005. Employment in technical occupations will grow at a faster pace than overall employment. Employment in technology-intensive industries will grow at about the same rate as employment in general; and surpluses are more likely to be observed in the S& E job market than shortages, but the latter (especially in specific fields) cannot be ruled out. (For more information see: Forecasting the S&E Job Market.)
