I'm trying to find specific unemployment information for engineers locally. I want to find out what skill sets have been most affected. Do you have any info or a link to it?

Hi Dan!
Thanks for your question.
If I understand correctly, you're trying to find out how the skills of local engineers have been affected by the current recession, correct?
If so, I'm afraid we don't have this kind of information. I can guide you to some other information on local engineers, however.... just check out today's (8/3/09) forthcoming blog post!
