Social Scientists, Other |
|
|
- About half worked for Federal, State, and local governments, mostly for the Federal Government.
- The educational attainment of social scientists is among the highest of all occupations.
- Anthropologists and archaeologists will experience average growth, but slower-than-average employment growth is expected for geographers, historians, political scientists, and sociologists because they enjoy fewer opportunities outside of government and academic settings.
- Competition for jobs will remain keen for all specialties because many of these social scientists compete for jobs with other workers, such as psychologists, statisticians, and market and survey researchers.
