Do your own research. I know well the conditions of my trade and the numbers of available jobs now as compared to merely two years ago.
On "monster.com", there were 6,000 to 8,000 jobs posted at any time in my field. There are precicely 130 nationwide today. This is the same story from all sources. There are very few "head hunter" firms in business these days.
Could you tell me what I'd have to gain by making this shit up?
That's anecdotal, doesn't prove much.

Is that an accurate way to measure jobs, by a website that was one of those bubble sites? I rather see statistics with a good representative sample-size.

I didn't say you were making anything up, I just haven't seen anything from you that shows any nationwide hard facts or significant statistics. I've seen some anecdotal evidence from you, but that doesn't tell me much about what the percentages of legitimate engineering jobs leaving the country are.
