Im an OE (ocean engineer) and ever since the oil bubble burst its been tougher for recent grads to find jobs because the oil industry was a big employer. OE isnt on the list but for those of us who did find jobs Id say it would be number 6 or 7.

Chem, petroleum, and electrical are some of the toughest engineering majors in my opinion which is why they have higher salaries but theyre also specialized. I wouldnt be surprised if new petro engineers were having a hard time getting work right now. Most other engineering majors like aerospace, mechanical, and systems are more general.
