Production and employment of Ph.D.'s in computer science—1977 and 1978

This brief report summarizes the results of the third and fourth annual surveys on the production and employment of Ph.D.'s in computer science. Responses were solicited from department chairmen, and aggregated for presentation. Results of the previous surveys were reported in [1] and [2]. Tabular results of the two latest surveys are presented in Tables I-VII. Numbered years in the tables refer to calendar years. Comparisons are made with corresponding data from previous years, and discussion is limited to comments on changes and trends.
