@yearstogo, look at the title of the post: “Engineering job outlook is poor”. How can a blatant statement like that be posted and interpreted by all of these kids applying to colleges for engineering?
The BLS stats may have been misread and misinterpreted by the OP. https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2016/employment-outlook-for-engineering-occupations-to-2024.htm
I saw a -1.4% decrease until the year 2024 in “Electronics” Engineers, which are not the same as Electrical Engineers.
Was I snarky? Yes.
Was it negative, yes, because the “poor” label is contrary to what is going on in the actual profession.
