THE SURVEY RESULTS ARE ESTIMATES BASED ON A SAMPLE OF ESTABLISHMENTS. SINCE SUCH ESTIMATES
ARE APPROXIMATIONS, ROUNDED FIGURES ARE SHOWN THROUGHOUT THE REPORT. TOTALS AND PERCENT­
AGES WERE CALCULATED, HOWEVER, ON UNROUNDED FIGURES, AND HENCE THE DETAILED DATA PRESENTED
IN TABLES AND CHARTS MAY NOT ALWAYS ADD TO THE TOTALS SHOWN.

•

ALL OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT FIGURES USED IN THIS REPORT REFER TO THE NUMBER OF PERSONS
ACTUALLY WORKING AS SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, OR TECHNICIANS IN JANUARY 1962—REGARDLESS OF
THE FIELD IN WHICH THEY MAY HAVE RECEIVED THEIR EDUCATION OR TRAINING. THE FULL DEFINITIONS
ARE REPRODUCED IN APPENDIX D.

•

ALL INDUSTRY CATEGORIES ARE BASED ON THE STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION MANUAL OF I9S7
AND ITS 1958 SUPPLEMENT, (EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, BUREAU OF THE BUDGET).
CERTAIN TWO-DIGIT AND THREE-DIGIT INDUSTRIES ARE COMBINED FOR TECHNICAL REASONS.

•

THIS REPORT SUMMARIZES THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE SURVEY WITH RESPECT TO OCCUPATIONAL
EMPLOYMENT WITHIN BROAD INDUSTRY GROUPINGS. THE DETAILED FINDINGS ARE PRESENTED IN THE
TABLES IN APPENDIX A.

Gentlemen:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is conducting a survey to provide
data on the 1962 employment of the Nation's scientific personnel resources.
This information provides a basis for evaluating the country's current
scientific and technical manpower, resources and serves as a guide in develop­
ing programs to strengthen the Nation's scientific potential.

Gentlemen:

This survey is being conducted, as in 1961, on an establishment
basis.
If your company is mad e up of several plants or establishments you
m a y receive more than one questionnaire.
Each establishment for which a
report is requested has been selected in a carefully drawn sample. A reply
i 8 needed for each designated reporting unit, even if the unit does not
employ any scientists, engineers, or technicians.
However, if it is not
feasible to send in a separate report for each unit, please follow one of
the alternative reporting procedures described o n page 4 of the questionnaire.

Several weeks ago we wrote you regarding a survey of scientific
and technical personnel w hich is being conducted by this Bureau to pro­
vide data on the 1962 employment of the Nation's scientific manpower
resources. We wish to thank you for the questionnaires which have been
returned to us.
However, we have not received reports for some of the
units for which we sent questionnaires.
Implicate questionnaire(s) for
these units are enclosed, Including a copy of each for your files.
It is of great importance to the success of this undertaking that
we receive reports from all of your establishments.
Each establishment
for which a report is.requested has been selected in a carefully drawn
sample. A reply is needed for each designated reporting unit, even if
the unit does not employ any scientists, engineers, or technicians.
However, if it is not feasible to send in a separate report for each unit,
please follow one of the alternative reporting procedures described on
page 4 of the questionnaire.
The data you supply will be held in strict
confidence, and published information will not permit identification of
data for reporting units or their parent companies.
The second copy of
the questionnaire is for your files.

Your cooperation in providing the information requested in the en­
closed questionnaire is of great importance to the success of this undertaking,
The data you supply will be held in strict confidence, and p u b l ished informa­
tion will not permit identification of data for reporting units or their
parent companies.
The second copy of the questionnaire is for your files.
Your company m a y also receive a questionnaire on research-development
expenditures in 1961 (Census Form Number RJL1).
This survey is being con­
ducted for the National Science Foundation by the Bureau of the Census and
will yield information o n the amount of funds expended for research-develop­
men t activities in industry.
It also contains a question o n personnel in
research-development which m a y be used to relate the two surveys.

We shall be extremely grateful for a prompt response to this
survey. If you have questions regarding coverage or the interpretation
of the questionnaire, please call Mr. Sutherland of our Washington staff
(Executive 3-2420, extension 2477) or write to me.
