The One Gun at a Time achievement in XCOM: Enemy Unknown worth 41 pointsStaff the Engineering Department with 80 engineers
... this achievement is attained by reaching 80 scientists in your Research Lab during the course of one campaign. Similarly, the fastest way to acquire scientists is to launch satellites over countries that will provide you with scientists every month for maintaining those satellites.
The continent that is scientist-heavy is Europe, as you will receive an extra 8 scientists per month for having satellites over all four European council nations.
In addition to Europe's contribution, you will also receive scientists every month for maintaining satellites over other countries, with the following reward structure:
+4 scientists/month for satellites over all three of the North American nations.
+2 scientists/month for satellites over both South American nations.
+2 scientists/month for satellites over all three of the African nations.
Asia offers no scientists, as this continent's reward structure is engineer-heavy, aiding greatly toward the above-linked "One Gun at a Time" achievement.
As you can see, once you have a full network of satellites up over at least all twelve scientist-contributing nations, it won't take many months for you to reach 80 scientists (at +16 scientists per month, in addition to whatever bonus scientists you choose to play for).
One may also acquire extra scientists by receiving rewards for certain types of missions and council requests; all such rewards are one-time rewards, however, whereas the satellite coverage bonuses repeat every month.

During your first playthrough, you will want to pick missions that reward you with scientist staff and grant them additional bonuses. Make sure that you also place satellites over countries so they'll provide you with scientists at the end of each month.

Scientists are given:
1. As a bonus from the continents for the fact that the countries are covered by xcom satellites (as a bonus depends on the number of satellites - visible on the launch screen). Europe provides the most scientists.
2. As a reward for missions
Be careful - laboratories do not give you additional scientists, on the contrary - scientists are needed to build and use laboratories. I finished all the research in the game when there were about 30 scientists (taking into account the numerous bonuses for research that you can get in the game, it’s not difficult), so the trophy is purely cumulative, and is logically combined with the complete completion/clearing of everything.
