This is such an overused, misleading statistic. It’s true, of course, but it’s not like there are hordes of aerospace engineers sitting at home unemployed while a bunch of mechanical and electrical engineers sit in the jobs they wanted. The real reason is there is a need in the aerospace industry for all of these specialties. There is a lot of overlap between aerospace and mechanical engineers, but there are certainly jobs that are geared more toward one or the other as well.
