<p>JiffsMom, if you'd like to look, here's the graduation stats from my school for the past five years or so: <a href="http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/employ/salary/Materials.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/employ/salary/Materials.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The info will get more interesting over the next year or two, since the year before me we had 8 graduates a year, my year there were 17, and the year after around 32. It looks like it's stabilized in the low-30s, so we'll see how things turn out for them (my prediction: no problems).</p>

<p>Thanks! I'll pass this along to D1. She'll love to take a look at the stats!</p>

<p>It looks like Industrial, Civil, Biomedical and Environmental will have the greatest growth according to [url=<a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm%5DEngineers%5B/url"&gt;http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm]Engineers[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>
