I recruited at a high tech job fair a few months ago here in town and it was shocking how many people were looking for work, and how few companies were represented at the fair. The difference from a couple years ago was startling.
I have to disagree that there is enough work to employee all engineers in the US. The fact is in a down economy with severe credit problems, it is difficult for companies, particulaly start ups to get any kind of venture capital. Without funding, there is no jobs.
This may only be temporary but the fact is, the job market is bad right onw, and getting worse. Engineers are not immune.[/quote]
What’s their speciality? When were were looking for people a back yonder, we had a tough time with folks with the experience we wanted. Either folks were script kiddies or heavily embedded. No enterprise experience, nor mobile app experience.
