1.8 Million Americans With Engineering DEGREES Don't Have Engineering JOBS

[get_involved]

"The President found the question "interesting" because "industry tells me that they don't have enough highly skilled engineers."

The White House sent out spokespersons to defend the President by talking about how not enough Americans are getting engineering degrees.

My immediate question was: How many Americans with engineering degrees don't have an engineering job?

Amazingly just this afternoon, Dr. Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies has published a report that answers the question.

We will talk more about the meaning of these stats in our weekly webcast at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) Thursday.. But chew on the numbers.

U.S.-BORN INDIVIDUALS WITH ENGINEERING DEGREES (under age 66) (based on most recent American Community Survey by the Obama Administration itself)

101,000 -- U.S. engineers looking for a job who can't find any work at all

244,000 -- U.S. engineers who have dropped completely out of the labor market
1,470,000 -- U.S. engineers who are working but no longer as engineers

it is one of Obama's objectives to make sure the White Man can't find jobs. Right? if too many white guys find work, then they will vote for Romney to insure they wont get fired !

Really?

Engineering jobs, resumes & careers - engineers employment search

And this stupidity says what?

Many tens of thousands of engineering jobs out there for qualified people.

Strange they link to a video that makes valid points and say, "See"?

FAIL!

And then there is the overseas market for engineers.

thats how liberals want it,,,,high unemployment, blame the republicans,,,etc, etc. If employment goes back to around 6%, Obama is done! why? cause working people are in fear of a far left Democrat who would eventually increase their taxes that will wind up in the Dem's pockets so they can buy cars,boats, throw expensive parties, Hawaiian Vacations, bribe cronies,,etc,,etc.

Hey Box of Rocks, you can do the same search for lawyers, yet there is an epidemic of new lawyers coming out of law schools and not getting a job. The epidemic is getting so bad lawyers are actually suing the law schools!

BULLSHYTTE as always. Engineers' unemployment is 3.8%, very healthy.

?????Working dupes you mean. But thanks to Pubs for the depression and doing everything in their power to screw up the recovery. Only brainwashed morons haven't noticed...

 

[Steelplate]

Well.... Perhaps if we would start BUILDING and MANUFACTURING SHIT again.... those engineers would have work. But no... we ignore our infrastructure, we ignore any new technology because we are brainwashed to cling on to the old technology, and because the Conservatives don't want to pay any taxes for new projects.

But that's ok.... you guys sit back, demand the status quo and blame Obama for everything...even that hangnail that you got this morning... what the fuck... it's easier than actually thinking.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Many people have degrees and do not work in a field related to that degree
Big fucking deal.

The pernicious effect of Free Trade and union busting ultimately effects even highly skilled workers like engineers.

are you assuming that just because one has an engineering degree that one would be happy working as an engineer or that maybe engineers are incapable of changing careers.

That's what happens when the government creates a visa that allows companies to import from India and China. Not to mention high taxes and obsurd regulations that force engineering jobs to move outside the US.
