From PEAT

Selected documents from the Project on the Economics of Advanced Training (1998-2000) co-directed by Eric Weinstein.

• Presentation: "Issues of Legislation and Merit in Scientific Labor Markets".
• Working draft on the NSF science and engineering shortage initiatives of the 1980s.
• Timeline of influential documents on the S&E workforce.

S&E Career Structure

Does the structure of S&E careers need reform in order to attract and retain workers?

• Creating a Tech Workforce that is Outsource Proof by Smith,Swanson and Tobias (www.sciencemasters.com)
• Attracting the best and the brightest by Zumeta & Raveling. Issues in Science and Technology, Winter 2002/2003 (Findarticles.com)

Impending Shortages?

• In January, 2004, the National Science Board noted a "troubling decline in the number of U.S. citizens who are training to become scientists and engineers" in their brief: An Emerging and Critical Problem of the Science and Engineering Labor Force.
  
• Roman Czuko, of the American Institute of Physics, has penned a response titled National Science Board: Getting It Wrong Again?
  
• Richard Monastersky, writing for the Chronicle of Higher Education has written a nice overview of this issue: Is There a Science Crisis? Maybe Not.
  

Immigration and Global Competitiveness

Although the INS is addressing recent controversy over post 9-11 visa policies, the U.S. still faces the long term issue of positioning itself in an era of increasing worldwide competition for the best & brightest technical minds

• Joint Statement on Visas by Presidents of National Academies[pdf]

• The Multiplier Effect by Stuart Anderson at the National Foundation for American Policy
