Industries & Professions / / Engineers
Job growth for engineers will vary by industry, but the overall employment projection predicts 11 percent growth by 2018, meaning the field will grow about as fast as the average for all occupations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the most new engineering jobs will be added for civil engineers, while employment of biomedical engineers will see the fastest growth. Demand for engineers in consulting, engineering, and research and development services will contribute to growth. Employment growth will be balanced as new technology allows engineers in other countries to work remotely and for lower wages and salaries. The outlook for specific engineering fields is discussed in the job articles covering those fields.
