Employment Outlook

Job opportunities for engineers are expected to remain good, and employment is expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2005, while the number of engineering degrees is expected to remain near present levels.

Employers will need more engineers as investment in plants and equipment is increased to further increase productivity and expand output of goods and services. More engineers also will be needed to improve deteriorating roads, bridges, water and pollution control systems and other public facilities.
