Continued collaboration the skill set for advancing innovation is changing: between NCSES and the Department of Homeland Security is expected to yield better indicators of STEM education and In the post-scientific society, the creation of wealth and jobs the STEM workforce. based on innovation and new ideas will tend to draw less on Underutilization of existing data on STEM workers is a persistent problem.

nature of the survey makes it possible to examine mobility patterns over time for holders of these degrees. However, Labor Force Mobility this dynamic feature of the SDR data typically has not been exploited to create indicators of the labor mobility of doctor While current NCSES indicators provide extensive ate holders, nor have the data been linked to create a dynamic information on the STEM workforce, their educational back dataset.

However, this activity offers high potential value, state administrative data on employers and employees and particularly for understanding the correspondence between Census Bureau censuses and surveys. The data, which are supply and demand for skill sets in S&T sectors and worker quarterly, follow both individuals and firms over time and mobility.

For existing human resource surveys, (2) measures of student instance, it is important to know in what industries people and labor mobility that can be developed by using NCSES with degrees in science -- in both STEM fields and the social surveys alone or by linking NCSES data with data from and behavioral sciences -- work throughout their lifetimes.
