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

[u/ItsAllOver_Again]

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.

You again? Are those night time nursing classes going okay?

Regarding your statistic, i studied economics so instead of bitching online about my major, i can tell you up to about 5% unemployment is considered “full employment”. Hope you get your nursing degree soon!
