The AGI Geoscience Workforce Program tracks the supply and demand of geoscientists by collecting original data and by analyzing existing data from federal, industry, and other sources. The Geoscience Workforce Program informs the geoscience community by reporting on workforce trends and by making predictions for future workforce needs.Quick snapshots on the status of the geoscience workforce are disseminated via the Geoscience Currents reports. Longer reports are published on the Geoscience Workforce Reports page.

The AGI Geoscience Workforce Program engages the next generation of geoscientists by supporting student recruiting at the college level, engaging students and faculty from geoscience departments, and involving parents by providing them with Geoscience Careers information. The Geoscience Workforce Program also engages the younger generation by disseminating geoscience information via Facebook and YouTube. Other outreach activities include our GeoWebinar series that include geoscience community discussion on our Geoscience Currents reports and our GeoConnection webinars that bring geoscience community members together to discuss the latest issues in the geoscience community.

Geoscience Currents #72: New Geoscience Graduates' Employment and Education Plans, Spring 2012
Last spring, AGI pilot tested the National Geoscience Student Exit Survey with 46 U.S. departments. Currents #72 looks at the employment and education plans as of Spring 2012 for the geoscience undergraduate and graduate degree recipients. AGI is currently collecting data from Spring 2013 graduates. If your department would like to participate in AGI's National Geoscience Student Exit Survey for 2013, please contact Carolyn Wilson atcwilson@agiweb.org.

Geoscience Currents #71: U.S. Female Geoscience Degree Rates in Atmospheric Science, Geography, Geoscience and Ocean Science, 2000-2012
Decreases in female enrollments and awarded degrees in the geosciences were reported recently. This led to an investigation of the rates of awarded degrees to females in different geoscience fields--atmospheric science, geography, geoscience/geology, and ocean science. Thanks to data collected by the Association of American Geographers and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership,Currents #71 compares the rates of conferred degrees to females in these four different fields from 2000-2012.
