manufactured goods

Environment
Chemists usually work in laboratories or offices. They usually work full
time and work regular hours

Significant Points
Having experience will give you a greater chance of getting
employed
The job outlook is slower than usual compared to other job outlooks
Chemists develop new and improved products and test new products

Training & Certification needed

In order to become a chemist, you will need at least a bachelors degree

Ph. D is necessary. No training or work experience is necessary

Employment
The employment change as of 2012-2022 is 5,400. The employment of
materials scientists is projected to grow 5%, due to the demand for

Job Outlook
The job outlook for a chemist as of 2012 to 2022 is 6% which is slower
than average compared to other occupations. Chemists and scientists
with an advanced degrees such as a Ph. D have better opportunities

Earnings or wages
As of May 2012, the median annual wage for chemists was $71,770.
The median annual wage of materials scientists was $88,990. They
