<p>Well, as you know, IT and engineering (of the kind which is relevant to this thread) aren’t the same, even though there is sometimes overlap. Generic “IT” is easy to outsource to other companies, regardless of whether they are in another country or not. I was wanting more information of exactly what types of industries and what types of jobs are “safest” for engineers in America. I hear conflicting information all of the time. For instance, I hear about the engineers who remain unemployed for years, but I also hear about defense contractors always looking for good engineers. Something is wrong somewhere.</p>
<p>Any engineering HR or hiring people want to talk anonymously, now’s your chance!!!</p>
