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.

Geoscience Currents #17 discusses the link between geoscience degree completion rates and current events. A common assertion is that the number of geoscience degrees granted is dependent on the price of oil. However, this metric requires a response lag greater than oil price change velocity. A more responsive mechanism would likely be the rate of degree completion – that students would be incentivized to complete their geoscience degree by improved economic prospects. Degree completion rates do show sensitivity to current events. Read more about this geoscience data snapshot on the Geoscience Currents page.
