Enrollment
Down; Demand
For Grads 1$ Up
College enrollment is decreas,-
ing, but the demand for college
trained personnel is ever increas
ing, according to two separate re
cent surveys? -
A study on college enrollments
shows that there has been a de
crease in enrollment in American
colleges, 11.4 per cent in full-time
students and 7-8 per cent in all
students, including part-time.
Yet the demand for college
trained. personnel is climbing, ac
cording to another study made by
the U. S. Department of Labor.
Occupational Outlook Hand
book, 1951 revised edition, re
views the highlights of a survey
to find the fields in which per
sonnel are needed. More than 75,-
000 new elementary school teach
ers were needed for the 1950-51
school year and only 3(5,000 per
sons qualified for regular ele
mentary teaching certificates in
June, 1950.
There is a shortage of scientists
(particularly those with advanc
ed degrees) for basic and back
ground research, developmental
and applied research, and teach
ing. With a record 52,000 engin
eers graduating last year, there is
still an increased demand by in
dustry for more engineers,
Other occupations in which
there is a continued shortage' of
personnel include pharmacy, vet
erinarians, (especially trained in
pathology and bacteriology), ac
countants, agricultural graduates,
and television technicians, espec
ially those who have a good
knowledge of mathematics and
electronic theory.
The need for aditional trained
women is great in all occupations
in which women have led in em
ployment: nursing, dietetics, phy
sical and occupational therapy,
social work and library work.
