There are 7.4 million people in the U.S. science and engineering (S&E) labor force, according to the latest census figures. The metro areas with the largest number of people in their S&E labor force are New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA (457,880); Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV (310,035); Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA (296,065); and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, IL-IN-WI (236,005).
"Science and engineering employment accounts for a relatively small proportion of the U.S. labor force, but is important as an engine for higher earnings, innovation, and economic growth," says Mark Mather, the data sheet's author and deputy director of domestic programs at the Population Reference Bureau.
