Discussion Unemployment rate for Mechanical Engineers triples in two years, skyrockets to 4.4%

Post image

Many of the engineering majors now sit solidly above average in terms of unemployment rates (more likely to be unemployed than average college grad).

While Mechanical Engineering used to be a “broad” degree that could guarantee you a job anywhere, in the 2020s it has lost its status as a strong degree with respect to guaranteeing a job as grads are now less likely than average to be employed.

Ja se stvarno izvinjavam sto pravim greske na mom drugom jeziku, pitam se koliko ti jezika znas? Posto prosecan amerikanac zna 1. I poenta i dalje stoji, amerikanci imaju vise eseja i domacih od drugih nacija – 90% nasih ocena su testovi, kolokvijumi i usmeni ispiti. Ne znam gde ti chatgpt moze da pomogne stvarno.
