I'm finishing my Ph.D. (Chemical Engineering) in the next couple of months. None of the 7 people in my class have jobs unless except for the two that hold H-1B visas.

Congrats are in order for you. That's quite an accomplishment.

As a Senior Engineer who was laid off (Yet again...) I can tell you about the market for Engineers. It is terrible. It is beginning to pick up. But it is slow. Especially in the Boston area.


Of my department, the three of us who were laid off were all 100% US Citizens. The three that stayed consisted of one VISA holder (From Iran), the second just became-an-American he immigrated from Germany, and the last one was 100% American. The reason for this mix is because of seniority....HUM
