STAFFING TRENDS, FY 1995-2004
In Chapter 1 of this report, Figure 1.1 presents aggregate data on staffing trends for the seven NIST Measurement and Standards Laboratories for the past decade. In this appendix, Figures A.2 through A.8 provide laboratory-by-laboratory staffing trends for the same period of time.
FIGURE A.2 Building and Fire Research Laboratory employment trends, 1995-2004. NOTE: FTP = full-time permanent employees; FTE = full-time-equivalent employees (FTP + other than FTP).
FIGURE A.3 Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory employment trends, 1995-2004. NOTE: FTP = full-time permanent employees; FTE = full-time-equivalent employees (FTP + other than FTP).
FIGURE A.4 Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory employment trends, 1995-2004. NOTE: FTP = full-time permanent employees; FTE = full-time-equivalent employees (FTP + other than FTP).
FIGURE A.5 Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) employment trends, 1995-2004. Data from FY 1995-1996 reflect combined spending for the Computer Systems Laboratory and the Computing and Applied Mathematics Laboratory. In FY 2003, Consolidated Computer System and NIST overhead-supported ITL activities were transferred to the NIST Chief Information Officer. NOTE: FTP = full-time permanent employees; FTE = full-time-equivalent employees (FTP + other than FTP).
FIGURE A.6 Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory employment trends, 1995-2004. NOTE: FTP = full-time permanent employees; FTE = full-time-equivalent employees (FTP + other than FTP).
FIGURE A.7 Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory employment trends, 1995-2004. NOTE: FTP = full-time permanent employees; FTE = full-time-equivalent employees (FTP + other than FTP).
