The scope of Mechanical Engineering during Recession:–

The manufacturing sector took a severe defeat in the United States during the 2008 recession. Many mechanical engineers lost their jobs due to layoffs and former students were left without any job vacancies to apply to. As of 2014, the scenario has improved & the circumstances look stable for mechanical engineers in industrial nations. Also, climate change and global warming are hovering to create new jobs in energy conservation, renewable resources, and sustainability.

During the 2008 recession in India, the manufacturing industry was not exaggerated as badly as the software and IT industry and placements were firm for mechanical engineering students. Also, since mechanical engineers work in other sectors such as oil and gas, energy, electronics and power industry, well spread the jobs.
