Okay, this is my personal experience. I graduated with a MS in Mechanical Engineering last year. I received 11 job offers last year ranging from 57-70K/year +bonuses, all over the country (Almost all aerospace, no oil companies). I was getting so many hits I started turning down interviews left and right. Then this year I was given a 10% performance raise. Some of my coworkers have taken jobs elsewhere and they got multiple offers in a matter of weeks with huge (~20%) bumps in pay. I don't think the engineering field is hurting.
If an engineer can't find a job right now it is completely their fault.
