According to a report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 39 percent of all biological scientists were employed by the government at various levels. Based on an employment study, the report found that most of the remainder of the biological scientists worked in research and testing laboratories, the pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing industries, or colleges and universities.
