Deaths and retire ments at the top of the occupa tional ladder create the largest 'number of openings at the bot tom "It follows that most of the openings will occur in' the large Industries and in the areas wnerc there ore now the heaviest con centrations of employment." The bulletin said, the main forces responsible for our present high production and employment are consumer purchases, new con struction, and capital investment in new plants and equipment. All of these forces are operating at the highest levels in our history and are likely to continue so for a number of months to come. A further incentive is provided by the demand for military goods and equipment for national de fense. The following Is the job outlook for 1953 graduates, taken from a news bulletin of the U. S. Depart ment of Labor. Engineers According to the bulletin, en gineering opportunities are excel lent for both new graduates and experienced men and women. During the build-up stage of in manufacturing industries, while Federal, State, and local govern ments will employ the largest number of civil engineers. Chemists Demand for personnel In most of the natural sciences has in creased sharply during the past two years, especially in activities related to defense production and research and development. How ever; trained personnel are also needed in other kinds of scientific work such as administration and technical sales. The employment opportunities for chemists are greatest in such manufacturing industries as chemicals, petroleum, rubber, food and paper. Educational institu tions and government also employ substantial number of chemists. They are also in demand in con sulting laboratories, non-profit re search institutes, hospitals, and mining companies. Though the need for persons with graduate training is greatest, those with only a bachelor's de gree will find numerous opportunities. Physicists with advanced training. The de mand for persons with only . a bachelor's degree also exceeds the supply. Opportunities are espe cially good for young physicists in nuclear physics, electronics, quan tum theory, atomic and molecular physics. Private industry, government, and educational institutions each employ roughly similar numbers of physicists.

The supply of new teachers to By DICK COFFEY Feature Editor "Plenty of jobs, but not enough people." This was the answer from the majority of colleges when asked what the job placement situation is for graduating seniors. 1 his was also apparent in a news release of the United States Department of Labor. "If they were any better. I don't know what we would do," was the answer of Roy M. Green, dean of the College of Engineering. ihere is a terrible shortage of men. Green said, and it will be much more so next year. "J no demand is hich." R chard M.

Accountants Industry is actively recruiting collego graduates trained in bus iness administration. Those spe cialized in management and in such business techniques as ac couting, advertising copywritlng, market research, sales, statistics, insurance underwriting and per sonnel management are partic ularly sought. . Those who combine leadership qualities with technical skill will have best opportunity for selection by largo firms recruiting for po tential executives. The demand for lawyers is greatest for those who have specialities. The demand for accountants is expected to' rerfiain. hfgh during the defense mobilization period and for at least a year or two thereafter. Opportunities for be ginning jobs in private business establishments are more numerous than in public accountig firms.

Physicians Shortages of physicians and dentists existed even before the present mobilization program was begun. Expansion of the Armed Forces intensified the need for personnel in these professions. Demand is also growing for other health-service personnel physical therapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, dietitians, public health nutritionists, medi cal laboratory technicians, medi cal and psychiatric workers, and veterinarians. Over the long run the growth of the population, the increasing proportion of the older peopln and increasing demand for heahh services by the population will sustain the demand for health, service personnel. There is also a critical demand for nurses brought on more bv growing civilian needs than by the fighting in Korea. Social Workers An expanding field and on which offers a variety of special. ization is that of social work. There is a great need for trained personnel to handle case work. group activities, and work con nected with community organize tion for social welfare. The field also includes admin, istrative work, teaching, and re search in social welfare. The shortage of trained qualiflij workers is expected to continue at least for several years among welfare agencies, hospitals, and State and Federal welfare estab lishments. Civil Service Agents The U. S. Civil Service Com mission reports that the pressing ni.-i.-u; oi rcuerai agencies are in scientific and technical posi tions such as engineer (various branches), physicist, metallurgist, cartographer and cartographic draftsman, chemist, mathemati. cian, meterologist, geologist, and oceanographer as well as in medi cal, dietetic, and library : special, ties.
