This collection of data resulted from a survey conducted by the Engineers Joint Council for the National Science Foundation in 1969. The sample consisted of 86,438 names taken from a list of approximately 350,000 names of members of engineering societies. After statistical adjustments, the survey sample of 44,837 qualified respondents represented…

Occupational statistics provide necessary information for planning future changes in vocational education programs which are designed to meet the employment needs of the labor market. The controversial aspects of statistics-gathering (is it education's proper function and, if so, how should it be done) are discussed. (EC)
