Some sobering numbers, but I really dislike it when articles like these group "science and engineering" as an afterthought, especially in reference to prosperity. I'm an engineer, but have known a number of scientists, and the employment scenario is no cakewalk. Engineers have it much better all in all. Someone is always quick to point this out when someone in a position of leadership grouses about the 'shortage' of scientists, but one need only look at the number of positions and the pay associated with them to realize the actual shortage is in our preconceptions of how much demand we ought to have.
