Job growth isn’t the only thing to consider. That only represents how many more total jobs are expected. You also have to consider the rate at which new engineers are entering the workforce and old engineers are leaving the workforce to get the full picture of supply and demand for engineers. In that regard, keep in mind that baby boomers are retiring in droves (although not as fast as feared) and most engineering companies seem to have a hard enough time keeping up with it, let along the job growth on top of that.

Unfortunately, I am not an engineer so cannot comment

Then why did you?
