Is Engineering Drying up in Huntsville, AL?
(OP)
I've been casually looking for employment in the Huntsville, AL area for a while. I used to search usajobs.gov for electrical engineering positions in Huntsville and get pages of jobs. I searched today and found exactly one job. Has it really gotten this bad even in Huntsville, which boasts the highest concentration of engineers in the country? Are private sector jobs also this hard to come by in Huntsville? A quick search of Indeed.com returns mixed quality results.

I feel like the opposite is happening out here in California. Caltrans job posting for the entire state is like 10 jobs at some points. A lot of cities are on hiring freezes with furloughed days and getting rid of people left and right. Of course this is California where everything is going down the drain right now.

Not Magic, just good old printing presses.
Or more correctly in this day & age, credits from the 'Fed'.
In any case, the results are the same.

I have some good buddies working at some govt positions and they are mentioning how layoffs are about to happen. Oddly enough some of these positions might keep the younger guys and lay off the older guys completely with none of the crazy benefits that the older guys were getting about 5 years ago. I have to assume that Cali is on the cutting edge of how to not run a state properly, so this may be coming to every town next.
I have to bite my tongue and lips and everything right now.
