The news about engineering unemployment is confusing at best. It appears that no one has a good handle on the nationwide impact of the downturn on IEEE members. In attempt to rectify this, IEEE-USA Employment and Career Services Committee has developed a web based survey.
 
The survey URL is:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=rJoau26ct4T_2fxnNMl7WTAQ_3d_3d
and it will be open until November 2nd.
