Houston is the U.S. market with the greatest need for engineers, a new study says.
Houston was ranked as the No. 1 market in the U.S. with the highest demand for engineers, according to a new Monster Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: MWW) survey.
Following Houston were San Jose, Calif.; San Diego, Calif.; Chicago; and Auburn Hills, Mich.
The Monster survey also revealed that throughout the U.S., the top five engineering occupations are industrial engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, civil engineer and electronics engineer.
Along the same lines, companies surveyed indicated they were looking for mechanical, electrical, manufacturing and computer skills.
This Monster survey aligns with a longstanding complaint in the Houston market: Energy, manufacturing and technology companies are all clamoring for more engineers.
Recently, there have been a number of new initiatives launched to increase the pipeline of engineers in the market. For example, the Greater Houston Partnership started a regional workforce development task force to help employers attract skilled technical workers to Houston, and Microsoft Corp. launched YouthSpark Houston, a program aimed at increasing the number of skilled science, math, technology and engineering students.
However, while the pipeline is being filled, it may be some time before the demand levels go down.
