Computer hardware engineering
According to the United States BLS, the current job outlook employment for computer hardware engineers, the expected ten-year growth from 2025 to 2035 is 9% mostly to replace existing engineers that retire or leave the occupation for other fields. However, 2019 to 2029 for computer hardware engineering was an estimated 2% and a total of 71,100 jobs. ("Slower than average" in their own words when compared to other occupations)". This is a decrease from the 2014 to 2024 BLS computer hardware engineering estimate of 3% and a total of 77,700 jobs; "and is down from 7% for the 2012 to 2022 BLS estimate and is further down from 9% in the BLS 2010 to 2020 estimate." Today, computer hardware is somewhat equal to electronic and computer engineering (ECE) and has been divided into many subcategories, the most significant being embedded system design.
