DOI: 10.1063/1.3061298
A general call‐up of reservists by the armed forces would mean the withdrawal from civilian employment of a significant number of the nation’s chemists and chemical engineers, according to information released on May 31st by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. One out of six chemists listed in a report prepared in cooperation with the National Scientific Register, and one‐fourth of the chemical engineers, were members of the reserve forces at the time they filled out questionnaires for the survey upon which the report is based.
