. Career Management Team findings for wildlife & fisheries biologists. United States. Bureau of Land Management; Wildlife conservationists; Biologists; Wildlife management; Fishery management. Analysis The first section of the three questionnaires was designed to collect biographical information that would be useful in evaluating the responses. While the Team realizes that the sample size is small for general Bureauwide application, it is felt that a 70 percent sample of the agency's Wildlife and Fisheries Biolo- gists is entirely adequate for the development of gen- eral assumptions concerning the Bureau's average professional in the Wildlife and Fisheries Program. It should also be pointed out that while the sample size of non-Wildlife Program professionals was small, there was no significant deviation in the response of this control group from the Biologists'. Because of this, the results of the Bureauwide questionnaire can be said to equate with the average Bureau professional. A com- parison of the average Bureau Wildlife Program professional's biographical data with the other groups surveyed is displayed on Table 2. This biographical data seems to validate the widely held opinion that the Bureau is aging, which also indicates that the Bureau's professional staff is composed of experienced individuals. The data also shows that those employees leaving the Bureau are taking many years of professional experience with them. Wildlifers in the Bureau, whether by choice or not, are staying in place longer. Of the Biologists leaving the agency, 81 percent are still employed as Biologists with the agencies shown in Figure 1. Only 12 percent changed professions after leaving the BLM. Figure 1. Employers of former BLM Bioloigsts who left the Table 2. Comparison of average biographical data of the three groups surveyed.
