Fitzwater Director of Personnel SUBJECT: Office of Personnel Report (Week Ending 28 December 1979) 1. Hiring Engineers: From the somebody's bad-news-is- our-good-news department the latest issue of "Recruiting Trends" report: "The new engineering class is up 140 over last year so that recruiters will find more people for the near term. Enrollment has been rising so that each year more. engineers have been coming out of the pipeline, however, a gathering of forces is likely to upset the situation between 1980 and 1982. Continued inflation leading to hiring cutbacks will probably reduce the demand for engineering students so that graduating classes will not be able to move en bloc into the job market. A result of new grads not being able to find engineering jobs easily, according to Scientific Manpower Commission Director Betty Vetter, is news stories about graduate engineers driving cabs. This will turn students off from the field again as has happened in the past and enrollments will go down. Ms. Vetter notes that the ups and downs of the supply of new engineers are greater than for other fields because it is necessary to start the engineering program as a freshman to be able to get through the demanding curriculum. (A. few. transfer during college years into engineering, but the number who do so is negligible.) Consequently, it is possible to foresee the likely number of entrants a few years ahead." (U) 2.

Discount Coupons: The final count on the General Services Administration GSA) obtained airline discount coupons shows that of a total of 150 coupons received, we used 91 for the travel of Agency employees. The remainder were returned to the Office.of Finance. The fact that not more of the GSA coupons were used is attributed to coupons supplied by many of the Divisions during the latter part of November and early December and also the beginning of the pre-holiday drop off in travel during this period. (U/AIUO) 6. Combined Federal Campaign: As of COB 18 December 1979, the CFC pledges totaled $285,232.24, which is 95.1% of our goal. $36,157 has been pledged for the Educational Aid Fund and $6,888.25 has been pledged for the Public Service Aid Society. 81 pledge cards are still outstanding.

This represented an increase of 33% in the number of Hispanics who entered on duty in FY 1979 compared to FY 1978. As in 1978, the Agency continued to advertise to stimulate applica- tions from minority candidates, and continued to participate in career days on college campuses and at job fairs in major cities. In addition, two full-time minority recruiters joined Recruitment Division to increase the number of applications from minorities. ,''he Agency achieved a 21% increase in the number of female professional and technical employees hired in FY 1979 as compared to FY 1978. There were 109 female professionals and technicians who en Bred on duty in FY 1979 compared to 90 in FY 1978. To enter this number on duty, the Division generated 712 applicant files, 302 of which were placed in process. Women represented 21% of the total professional and technical hires. FY 1979 also saw an intensive campaign to recruit Career Trainees for the Operations Directorate. The Division, with 25X1A the assistance of the E__ L devised a DDO/CT ad which has been most successful. The year also saw a continuing demand for engineers and physical scientists.. A new ad targeted to engineers and physical scientists was devised and is drawing well. The Division continued to give priority attention to clerical and secretarial recruitment.
