I find a shortage of engineering jobs.

I’m in the environmental engineering field at a very large firm, and find that the number of engineering positions is dropping faster than the number of people going into retirement. It may be that infrastructure (water treatment, wastewater treatment, pipelines, etc.) is being stretched as local and state funding is declining. And reduced economic activity has led to a dramatic drop in water demand in many cities. So municipalities are delaying or deferring projects.

Fewer civil/environmental engineers are needed in the US compared with 10 years ago.

I find a shortage of engineering jobs.

I see jobs listed for a year or more (at Halliburton and others) yet they never call me in for an interview. Then there are the companies that want to pay under $30k a year for degreed experienced professionals.
