Abstract :
The slowly recovering economy is yielding gains for electrical engineers: In early 2014, job website CareerBuilder had 3.5 electrical engineering jobs posted for every job-seeking candidate, while U.S. tech recruiting firm Randstad Engineering says demand for electrical engineers is high in semiconductor and telecommunications companies and the energy and transportation sectors. And in manufacturing, "we\´re seeing an increased demand for EEs, specifically quality and control engineers," says Jay Rogers, vice president of recruiting at Randstad. "There is also a demand for control engineers in the petroleum industry. And salaries in that industry are off the charts."
