The last decade has seen considerable concern regarding a shortage of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers to meet the demands of the labor market. At the same time, many experts have presented evidence of a STEM worker surplus. A comprehensive literature review, in conjunction with employment statistics, newspaper articles, and our own interviews with company recruiters, reveals a significant heterogeneity in the STEM labor market: the academic sector is generally oversupplied, while the government sector and private industry have shortages in specific areas.
在过去十年里,人们对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的劳动力短缺以满足劳动力市场需求的问题给予了相当大的关注。与此同时,许多专家也提出了STEM领域劳动力过剩的证据。一项全面的文献综述,结合就业统计数据、报纸文章以及我们自己对公司招聘人员的访谈,揭示了STEM劳动力市场存在显著的异质性:学术领域普遍供过于求,而政府部门和私营行业在特定领域存在短缺。
