A bstract In this article I describe the methods used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to develop economic and employment projections ten to fifteen years ahead. Also, I discuss the results of the most recent projection of employment 1990–2005, with particular emphasis on the employment outlook for engineers. I close the article with an assessment of the sensitivity of future employment of engineers to changes in critical variables.
