"There's PLENTY of work out there. Don't listen to the lies the TV and papers tell you."
Yeah, it was supposedly even worse a year or so ago. Nonetheless, I had an
extremely difficult time finding anyone to even apply for an engineering position I was offering at a base salary of $75,000 to $100,000!!!!! That probably puts you in the top 5% - 10% of wage earners in Michigan!!! The resumes that did come in were a joke. I thought there were engineers being laid off, downsized, and outsourced all over the place. Apparently not.
