  • data from a Professional Society placement service as a measure of the employment market for physicians
    Radiology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Jonathan H Sunshine, Rebecca S Lewis, Barbara Schepps, Howard P Forman
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE: To determine whether data from a Professional Society placement service—the Professional Bureau of the American College of Radiology—are a valid measure of the employment market. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the United States from 1990 to 1998, the authors compared three placement service measures—the annual number of job listings, job seekers, and listings per seeker—with two presumably valid measures of the employment market—annual total jobs available (which was ascertained from surveys of hiring) and radiologist median income relative to the all-physician median. For the comparisons, both graphic displays of the data and correlation were used. RESULTS: In graphs, patterns of change were similar. The correlation of job listings, which measure demand, with total jobs, which also measure demand, was 0.84 (P = .04). The correlation of (a) job seekers, a measure of supply, and (b) listings per seeker, which involve both supply and demand, with total jobs was substantial but lower: 0.58 (P = .23) and...

The correlation of (a) job seekers, a measure of supply, and (b) listings per seeker, which involve both supply and demand, with total jobs was substantial but lower: 0.58 (P =.23) and 0.76 (P =.08), respectively. Correlation of the three placement service measures with relative income, which presumably depends on both supply and demand, was 0.80-0.88 (P <.05 for each measure). The statistical significance levels of the correlations and the pattern of findings--namely, stronger correlations among measures of the same aspect of the employment market--indicate that these placement service data are valid and reasonably accurate measures of the employment market.

  • Data from a Professional Society placement service as a measure of the employment market for radiation oncologists
    International journal of radiation oncology biology physics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Mythreyi Bhargavan, Jonathan H Sunshine, Barbara Schepps
    Abstract:

    Abstract Purpose: To aid in understanding the employment market for radiation oncologists, we present annual data for 1991 to 2000 from the American College of Radiology's placement service, the Professional Bureau. This data series is twice as long as any previously available. Secondarily, we compare these data with other data on the employment market. Methods and Materials: The trends in job listings, job seekers, and listings per seeker in the Bureau are tabulated and graphed. We calculate correlations and graph relationships between the last of these and measures of the job market calculated from annual surveys. Results: Bureau data show listings per job seeker declined from 0.53 in 1991 to a nadir of 0.30 in 1995 and then recovered to 1.48 in 2000. Bureau listings and job seekers, each considered separately, show a similar pattern of job market decline and then eventual recovery to better than the 1991 situation. Bureau listings per job seeker correlate 0.895 with a survey-derived index of program directors' perceptions of the job market, but statistical significance is limited ( p = 0.04), because very few years of survey data are available. Conclusions: The employment market for radiation oncologists weakened in the first half of the 1990s, as had been widely reported; we present the first systematic data showing this. Data from a Professional Society placement service provide useful and inexpensive information on the employment market.
