ABSURD claims by @ASU Kozicki about engineering workforce shortages

@JamieABC15 cites him:
"According to US [BLS] there will be a shortfall of about SIX million engineers."

There are 1.7 million engineers today

Your daily reminder elites are clueless

I discuss the real state of the engineering labor market here:

Is There Really a STEM Workforce Shortage? issues.org/stem-workforce…
Engineering degrees outpacing projected job growth by 10X. Image
Worth remembering the semiconductor _gutted_ its US workforce in the early 2000s when it embraced offshoring to China and other low-cost countries.
Any rational person would get the message to avoid semiconductors if they wished to be gainfully employed Image

Lessons from Facebook's hack of immigration

Last week DOJ/DOL settled its case against Facebook for discriminating against US workers thru its hacking of the immigration process
