Chemistry Jobs, Present and Future
Posted by Derek
I'd like to call attention to a week-long blog roundtable on scientific jobs and hiring that's starting today. The first installment is up at Chemjobber, and it's excellent reading. How did the employment picture in chemistry get into this shape? And are there any reasonable ways out of it?
We've talked about that over here in the past, but today I encourage everyone with an interest in these topics to head over to ChemJobber and add their ideas to the comments. I'll be putting up pointers to the other posts in the series during the week as well.

@You're Pfizered. What the graph doesn't show is what the growth in working age populations is supposed to be by 2018. If the working age population grows by less than 2% between now and then, it means chemists will account for a greater percentage of all potential workers.

@You're Pfizered:
The author's statistic about 42k jobs being lost in one year is completely bogus. The BLS statistic about projected job growth is unfortunately true.
