The total graduate physics enrollment was 10,410 at the beginning of the 1974-75 academic year; this represents an eight-year decline from a peak of 15,500 graduate students. About 90% of these students are currently enrolled at Ph.D. granting institutions. The data presented in this report come from a survey of individual graduate students whose…

Ellis, Susanne D. – 1978
Employment opportunities for physics and astronomy graduates were surveyed in December 1977. At that time the graduates of 1976-77 had explored the job market for at least six months or had held their positions long enough to evaluate them and offer advice to prospective graduates. The time required for new graduates to obtain the first…

Ellis, Susanne D. – 1979
The types of positions that physicists accept to start their careers are evaluated through a survey conducted by the American Institute of Physics. It is suggested that the economic recession and declining job market has had an effect on the transition from a physics education to the start of a career. The amount of time spent by 1977-78 physics…

Ellis, Susanne D. – 1980
Results of a followup employment survey of 1979 physics and astronomy graduates are summarized. The employment-oriented graduates were asked in the winter of 1979-80 to describe their positions and comment on the extent to which they were satisfied with the start of their careers. Data on how long it takes a graduate to secure initial and…
