Every website that we researched resulted in the southwest region having the highest number of job postings. In each analysis California’s and Texas’s high job postings carried the southwest region to the lead.

1. Southwest Region – According to the various websites, this region had the highest number of job postings. About 70% of those postings were found in California and Texas.

2. Southeast Region – This region’s job posting numbers were very close to the Southwest region numbers. The number of job postings seemed to be a little more spread across the States in this region. Florida, Virginia, and Washington DC area typically had the highest number of postings.

3. Northeast Region – The states of New Jersey, Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania typical had the highest job postings in this region, but Rhode Island and Vermont were usually the lowest.

4. Mid West Region – This region has the most number of states, and consistently showed very low job postings. On average Illinois’s and Ohio’s posting numbers were about half the regions total number of postings.

5. Northwest Region – This region had the poorest results on all of the website surveys. The only State that is doing fairly well is Washington which has about 75% of all posting in the region.

How can you use the results of the survey? Without question the recession is still impacting the engineering profession as is clearly demonstrated by our survey. The best place to look for a Civil Engineering job right now is probably California, Florida, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas or the Washington DC area. It just doesn’t look like engineering companies anywhere else in the country are hiring.
