Utilizing data from the Bureau of the Census, this paper explores changes in the labor market demand for urban and regional planners over the last three decades. Specific aspects of that demand are considered: overall size, spatial distribution, and industrial composition Demand has increased dramatically since 1960, though it waned in the '70s, and it has generally paralleled regional shifts in population and employment. In sectoral terms, planners remain primarily government employees. The implications of these findings for planning research and education are briefly addressed
