Individual engineers may get laid off even when there is a shortage of engineers in the economy. For example, if a particular tech company goes bust. And naturally, the more complex the job, the longer the hiring process for that job is
And if you don't believe that we indeed have a shortage of engineers and not of fry cooks, consider why engineers are paid so much more.
