In order to obtain information on the current and future job market for 12 health technology occupations, a random sample of area physicians and 100% of 9 distinct types of health occupations employers were surveyed. The major employers, hospitals and nursing homes, were interviewed by college nursing faculty; all other employers were surveyed by mail. The employers were asked to provide the following information: (1) the number of full-time and part-time employees in 1975, 1977, and the number projected for 1981, by occupation; (2) the number of current employees without minimum certification and the additional number needed to provide optimum care for the current service level, by occupation; (3) the average length of time a job is vacant and the starting salary for each occupation; (4) an assessment of the supply of trained manpower in each occupation; (5) previous experience with graduates of the college; and (6) new occupations emerging in the health field and the employer's community education needs. The data were aggregated for all employers and by employer type. Weighted means were calculated for each occupation on the ratings of available trained manpower. Study procedures, findings, and conclusions are presented in the report, and the survey instrument and job descriptions for the 12 occupations are appended. (RT)
