The August 1993 issue of IEEE Spectrum has a cover article entitled, "Jobs at Risk." (IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.) The article surveys unemployment in several countries and in several U.S. electronics industrial subfields. The only US field in which employment increased was prepackaged software, which showed an anemic 1.5% increase between December 1991 and December 1992. In the meantime, aerospace jobs have decreased 29% from their peak in 1989. Apparently, awareness (exposure?) of the Myth is spreading. From: sotireli () ceg uiuc edu (Paul Sotirelis) There is a 17 page article "Jobs at Risk" in the August 1993 issue of Spectrum. It is the most detailed article on high-tech job prospects that I have come across. Of course it is from an engineering perspective. There is extensive information on jobs in Europe, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, South America and China in addition to North America. This article is heavy on useful statistics and also includes advice on the new places to find jobs. ========== From: sergio () seismo unr edu (Sergio Chavez-Perez) My thesis advisor gave me a copy of the paper: "Scientific Elites and Scientific Illiterates" by David L. Goodstein, Engineering & Science, Spring 1993, California Inst. of Technology. It's an excellent description of the present (and future) scientific scenario in this country.
