Abstract	Results of the 1984-1985 Graduate Student Survey of physics and astronomy graduates are presented, with attention to: educational background, current graduate student status, choice of subfield, and employment prospects. Highlights include: a major increase occurred in the proportion of foreign physics doctorate recipients; the number and percentage of theoreticians and postdoctoral students increased; and there was a greater demand for master's level physicists. Information is provided on eight characteristics for the total graduate population including seven minority groups, and for three subgroups: first-year graduate students, terminal masters, and doctoral recipients; the characteristics are: sex, citizenship, whether physics was studied in high school, major of bachelor's degree, type of bachelor's institution, type of graduate institution, full-time or part-time attendance, and sources of financial support. Additional tables in include: number of advanced graduate physics students specializing in experimental and theoretical subfields by years of graduate study completed; type of employers and work activity of 1984-1985 physics master's and doctoral degree recipients; the number and percent of astronomy graduates students studying selected subfields, and characteristics of the graduate astronomy student population.
