Engineers, Scientists in Demand As in other years, engineers and scientists are in the greatest demand. These" people are need ed to supplement'the technologi cal advances of business, industry, and government. While the total number of jobs available for liberal arts and busi ness administration majors, is smaller, a smaller number of these students usually apply. This causes, an almost equal demand in such areas as sales, marketing, retailing, accounting and finance.
