"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
