GWB may have been right about the recession (or lack thereof)

. . . for scientists and engineers, that is. Three newly published reports show increasing supplies of scientists and engineers, as well as a strong labor market.

Overall unemployment for scientists and engineers in the United States dropped to 2.5 percent in 2006.

Maybe scientists and engineers are simply more capable of recognizing a downturn so they weren't as picky when accepting jobs. I guess the question is, has the salary of scientists and engineers decreased?
