As mentioned, all engineering fields draw from a well of similar skills and abilities. However, not all of them enjoy the same job growth rate. Most types of engineering are growing at roughly the average rate for all U.S. occupations, which is about 8%. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the fastest growing engineering field is industrial, with a projected 14% growth rate in the 2020-2030 period. Nuclear engineering is facing the most dramatic slowdown, with the BLS predicting an 8% decline in new jobs in that same period thanks to a changing energy market. If you're concerned about your degree's marketability, keep an eye on BLS projections.
