There are lots of engineering jobs in the area (I know Siemens and others cannot find good engineers), I get contacted on regular basis through Linkedin.
Although I'm not looking for a job, I get many posting emailed direct to me from this site:

Lack of skilled engineers is a big problem for US manufacturing in general, since so many good ones have retired and not enough bright kids had much interest in probably the hardest university programs - it is a serious impediment to job growth. Honestly I cannot blame the smart kids, why bother setting up a path in a manufacturing industry that has been shipped overseas for decades...
It is sad that in our society many professionals are paid a lot more than engineers - a great engineer is most important for a society future development (inventions around us support my theory). Reality is that as a nation we need bright engineering minds to create the next great products, which along the way create the necessary jobs.
