we project they will account for 70 % of employment growth. Between March 1988 and March 1991 these occupations, in fact, accounted for 87 % of employment growth. The BLS's projections of the supply / demand balance for college graduates have also been off the mark—predicting a surplus

, p. 179. They are derived by cumulating numbers of machines sold. A very low scrap rate of 3.4 to 6 percent depending on the year was assumed. Where possible, vendor reports were used to allocate sales of computers between categories of end user---business, education, and home. Quite often, however, rules of thumb were used to make these allocations. Future Computing is no longer in business so more detailed information on how the series was constructed and data for 1989 are not available. CPS surveys in 1989 and 1993 provide data on the proportion of workers who use computers at work (NCES 1993, p. 434 and 1994, p. 439). The proportionate growth rate produced by comparing the two surveys was applied to the 1989 value of the PC-use variable from Future Computing. Projections of PC-use for succeeding years were made by extrapolation. Projections were based on an assumption that the unemployment rate in 2005 would be 5.5 percent and the merchandise trade deficit would be 1.4 percent of ...
