GRADUATE DEMAND Population growth in SE QLD and pressure on the
resources, mining, oil & gas and infrastructure industries has
resulted in a drop in demand for engineers. Downturns in the
engineering industry has happened before and it will get better
cyclical nature of job market Demand for engineers at all levels
and across all disciplines has dropped over last few years. Whilst
demand is rising slowing, the engineering market currently remains
weak. The average starting salary for a graduate aerospace engineer
is $60,000 to $65,000
