<p>I'm just wondering because obviously I plan on transfering from my current university but don't want to end up in a place where I can't find work or will have to move very far to get a decnt job in the field I like.</p>
<p>I already seen one of part of my family move across the country for this reason and if I have to move I want to be atleast somewhat close.</p>
<p>According to my research at the Bureau of Labor Statistics site, the areas with the most aerospace engineers are as follows, in order:</p>
<p>SoCal
Houston
DC/MD/NoVA area
DFW Metroplex
Huntsville, AL
Wichita</p>
<p>There are also significant pockets in Connecticut, the Bay Area, and the Front Range region.</p>
<p>The Greater Seattle area
California
Metro Washington DC
Witchita KS</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that two huge companies, General Electric and United Technologies Corporation, are national but have sinficant Aerospace engineering/science facilities in the northeast.</p>
<p>Huntsville, AL is top for aerospace engineers according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Huntsville has NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center as well as Redstone Arsenal (mainly rockets). Not to mention offices for Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, among others. Plus it’s a great place to raise a family.</p>
<p>That’s where they’ll do all the testing? None in Ny, NJ, or PA? What about FL isn’t NASA or any aeronautical companies stationed there?</p>
<p>Aeronautical engineering jobs tend to be in certain pockets, as mentioned above, with many, many exceptions. There are probably AE jobs in every state in the union, but a ghiher portion are in those clumps mentioned.</p>
<p>You also asked about mechanical engineering jobs, and those are everywhere. </p>
<p>There is a significant crossover between those two disciplines. When I was in college, they were the same department, and graduates of it had a BS in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.</p>
