Unemployed and semi-retired EE here. This is going to get much worse before it gets better. There&#x27;s just too much low cost Electronics Engineering talent available worldwide. The only way that this would change is if there&#x27;s another world war which bifurcates the talent base.<p>A possibility  would be if the US goes to war with China or Russia. The US defence industry would end up &quot;drafting&quot; all of the EE&#x27;s forced into retirement.
