  • Abstract
    This special report draws on both statistics and individual case studies to ascertain the level and implications of worldwide disruptions and opportunities with regard to employment. It is noted that the current job outlook differs radically with the country, with economic conditions, with national policy, and with engineering field. Job security, soft in North America, has strong spots in Europe and Asia. Military, aerospace, communications, and hardware EEs are vulnerable. Technical, economic, and regional issues are driving forces in employment. Strategies for survival consist of distrusting projections, considering working for a small to mid-sized company, and thinking in terms of working outside the country.<>
