Notes on employment for Mathematicians

  • A Ph.D. degree in mathematics usually is the minimum education needed, except in the Federal Government.
  • Employment is expected to contract, reflecting the decline in the number of jobs with the title mathematician; competition will be keen for the limited number of jobs.
  • Master�s and Ph.D. degree holders with a strong background in mathematics and a related discipline, such as computer science or engineering, should have better employment opportunities in related occupations.
