ATLANTA—Engineers largely feel secure in their jobs and are confident in their employers’ futures, according to the latest Randstad Engineering Employee Confidence Index. Each quarter, Randstad Engineering places a numerical value on its index based on an online survey. The most recent poll found a strong level of confidence in workers’ outlook, with 72% showing confidence in their companies’ future. Eighty-six percent of respondents also reported feeling secure in their positions. However, there was a one percentage point decrease from the previous index of engineers who feel confident in their ability to find a new job.
