According to the US department of labor;
"Computer hardware engineers may face competition for jobs because the number of degrees granted in this field has increased rapidly and because employment is expected grow more slowly than average."
CE
"Employment of electrical and electronics engineers is expected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through 2012."
EE
"Employed Number of Electrical Engineers, Computer Scientists Declines, Unemployment Rate Increases from Fourth Quarter '03 to First Quarter '04"
IEEE news
This clip is kind of interesting, but only confirms what I have suspected for a while now;
Finally, IEEE isn't so sure about the constant refrain heard about the low numbers of engineers graduating from U.S. universities every year. A National Science Board draft report on the science and engineering workforce said there are not enough students studying engineering "and we have to beef up the numbers we're graduating now," says Hira. "IEEE weighed in on that and said you need to start looking at current workers and their situation and utilizing that human capital that is already out there and is not fully utilized when you have unemployment rates this high."
