Four of the technical tables were updated by correcting data or adding missing data. For table A-4, 2022 data were corrected for all unit counts for the following fields: agricultural sciences; chemical, petroleum, and chemical-related engineering; civil, environmental, transportation and related engineering fields; electrical, electronics, communications and computer engineering; industrial, manufacturing, systems engineering and operations research; metallurgical, mining, materials and related engineering fields; other engineering; and other health.
For table A-8, detailed fields were added under the broad fields of science, engineering, and health for fall 2022.
For table A-11, imputation rate data for Total, Unknown ethnicity and race (Excel cell B16) was corrected from 18.3 to 3.4 and the number imputed for Total, Unknown ethnicity and race (Excel cell B29) was corrected from 600 to 91.
For table A-16, Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) codes with fewer than six characters were corrected by appending trailing zeros. Missing labels for CIP code 60.0750 were provided.
The titles, descriptions, and callouts of data files SWBINV-1, SWBINV-2, and SWBINV-3 were inadvertently switched between the three files. These items have been corrected in all locations; the data values within the files are unchanged.
In table 2, the estimates for FY 2021 were generated from microdata that included some uncorrected balance errors. This affected all cells except for the one with All R&D, Total. This error was also seen in the text describing the table findings, where the proportion of nonfederally funded R&D total was listed as 32% instead of 31%. The table and the text have been corrected, so text now reads, “A higher proportion of the federally funded R&D total was spent on applied research (44%) compared to the nonfederally funded R&D total (31%).
Table 9-11 contained incorrect data under the column heading “Reason for part-time status, Chronic illness or permanent disability.” This response was not a survey option in 2010, and numbers given were the total number of persons working part time. This column has been deleted; no other data in the table are affected.
In table 9-36, the estimates presented for “Management and administration” were actually for its sub-category “Managing and supervising” (this subcategory is not reported on the table). In addition, the estimates reported in the “Other” category were incorrect. The estimates in both categories have been corrected.
In the Persons with Disabilities theme’s Figure 6-E (Age at onset of disability among scientists and engineers: 2010), ten-year-olds were inadvertently included in the category: “Younger than 10 years” and excluded from the category “10–19 years.” The figure has been corrected. The value for “Younger than 10 years” is 6.2%, and the value for “10–19 years” is 13.1%.
Table 9-11 contained incorrect data under the column heading “Reason for part-time status, Chronic illness or permanent disability.” This response was not a survey option in 2013, and numbers given were the total number of persons working part time. This column has been deleted; no other data in the table are affected.
In table 9-36, the estimates presented for “Management or administration” were actually for its sub-category “Managing and supervising” (this subcategory is not reported on the table). In addition, the estimates reported in the “Other” category were incorrect. The estimates in both categories have been corrected. The replacement table corrects these issues and updates all estimates to use final, rather than preliminary, 2013 SESTAT data.
In the Occupation theme’s Figure 5-D (Employed Hispanics within the science and engineering workforce as a percentage of selected occupations: 2013), the share for health technologists or technicians was corrected to be 14.5%. Also, Computer system analysts was inadvertently listed under S&E-related occupations rather than S&E occupations. The figure has been corrected.
In the Occupation theme’s Figure 5-E (Age at onset of disability within the science and engineering workforce: 2013) ten-year-olds were inadvertently included in the category “Younger than 10 years” and excluded from the category “10–19 years.” The figure has been corrected. The value for “Younger than 10 years” is 8.0%, and the value for “10–19 years” is 15.3%.
