Abstract

According to James Brown, the executive director of the STEM Education Coalition in Washington, D.C., “STEM is the future of the economy. “There will be work there in the future.“ That claim is supported by data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It is anticipated that between 2012 and 2022, employment in professions related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) will increase to more than 9 million. That represents an increase in employment of roughly 1 million jobs from 2012 levels. This article examines roughly 100 professions from a list compiled by a group made up of representatives from various federal agencies, giving readers an overview of STEM work. The article’s introduction provides a succinct overview of the subjects of computer science, engineering, mathematics, and the life and physical sciences. The second half of the report contains information on the STEM professions with the highest employment, as well as predicted job vacancies and growth. The benefits and difficulties of STEM job are covered in the third part. How to get ready for a profession in a STEM field is covered in the fourth section.
