Report on Changes in the Demand for Scientific and Technical Manpower Induced by Changes in Technology (With Semiconductor Industry as Case Study)

摘要

An index of technology growth is constructed for the base period of the 1970's and projected to 1985. The study found that during the 1970's the technological index growth was rapid and even. While S/E employment made up 9% of total semiconductor industry employment in 1974, it rose to 15% by 1971 from 5,000 to 11,000. Requirements are projected to grow to 22,000 by 1985.
