Description
Summary:Describes the employment of members of the American Psychological Association (APA) and presents data collected through APA's 1978 Human Resources Survey, which was based on the responses of a stratified random sample of 6,551 members. Results show that involuntary unemployment is low, and underemployment is relatively rare. APA members are employed in a great variety of settings, and their work activities, salaries, and other employment characteristics are also varied. Trends in employment and the continuing need for data on the employment and utilization of psychologists are discussed. (23 ref)
