How many PhD's and post docs in usa

[robousy]

Hey all,

Anyone know off the top of their head where one could find data on total numbers of physics post docs and PhDs in the united states?

I became interested this evening but google didn't reveal many of her secrets.

The American Institute of Physics has a /lot/ of statistical data on physics careers and physicists.

I am not able to provide an exact number for the total number of physics post docs and PhDs in the United States. This information is not readily available and may vary depending on the source and the specific time frame. However, there are a few resources that may be helpful in finding this information. The National Science Foundation (NSF) conducts surveys and publishes data on the number of PhDs awarded in different fields, including physics, in the United States. They also have data on the number of post docs in various fields. Another potential resource is the American Institute of Physics (AIP), which also conducts surveys and publishes data on the number of physics PhDs and post docs in the United States. It may be helpful to reach out to these organizations directly for more specific and up-to-date information.
