According to statistics from the US Department of Labor, in 2006, engineers held about 1.5 million jobs. Of that, about 30,000 were held by chemical engineers. Overall engineering employment is expected to grow by 11 percent over the 2006-16 decade, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Engineers have traditionally been concentrated in slower growing or declining manufacturing industries, in which they will continue to be needed to design, build, test, and improve manufactured products. However, increasing employment of engineers in faster growing service industries should generate most of the employment growth.

Overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be good because the number of engineering graduates should be in rough balance with the number of job openings between 2006 and 2016. In addition to openings from job growth, many openings will be created by the need to replace current engineers who retire; transfer to management, sales, or other occupations; or leave engineering for other reasons.

Earnings for engineers vary significantly by specialty, industry, and education. Last year's data showed a range in pay for chemical engineers to run from $60,000 - $70,000.
