A new study has yet again shown what we have known for a long time. There is no shortage of Scientists, Mathematicians, Engineers and Technical people in America.

U.S. colleges and universities are graduating as many scientists and engineers as ever, according to a study released on Oct. 28 by a group of academics. But that finding comes with a big caveat: Many of the highest-performing students are choosing careers in other fields. The study by professors at Rutgers and Georgetown suggests that since the late 1990s, many of the top students have been lured to careers in finance and consulting.

"Despite decades of complaints that the United States does not have enough scientists and engineers, the data show our high schools and colleges are providing an ample supply of graduates," said study co-author Hal Salzman, a public policy professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. "It is now up to science and technology firms to attract the best and the brightest graduates to come work for them."

Salzman implies even more than your usual fact based study concluding Americans are highly skilled, highly educated and available to work in droves.

He also implies unless corporations start giving the career and financial security incentives required to keep such difficult technical expertise, more and more people pwill move into career areas that do offer a real long term career with the financial rewards that follow.

Thank God for Sloan foundation sponsoring research that is actually objective.

But for every good report, you can bet the corporate lobbyists will snow Congress with 100 biased propaganda claiming there is a shortage in order to continue their global labor arbitrage and age discrimination agenda.
