Abstract	This report follows up the employment status of 1997 physics and astronomy degree recipients. The report notes that: (1) only 2 percent of 1997 doctoral degree recipients were unemployed in the winter of 1998; this is down from a recent high of 6 percent for the class of 1993; (2) half of new physics Ph.D.s in the class of 1997 accepted permanent positions; a majority of these positions were in the industrial sector; (3) the majority of new Ph.D.s employed in permanent positions expressed the view that they were working in an area that was not primarily physics based; in contrast, the majority of new Ph.D.s in postdoctoral and other temporary positions were employed primarily in physics; (4) more than half of students leaving with master's degrees entered the work force, 62 percent of these were employed in industry, and 75 percent view their positions as related to physics; (5) half of all 1997 bachelor's degree recipients enrolled in graduate school, with the majority entering a physics graduate program; and (6) over 95 percent of physics bachelor's degree recipients entering graduate school received research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or fellowships. Tables and figures summarize the data. (CH)
