Employment
 According
to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, industrial engineers hold about
201,000 jobs.
This represents 13.4% of the 1.5 million jobs held by engineers in the
U.S.
Six in 10 of these jobs were in manufacturing
industries, and an additional 1 in 10 worked in professional,
scientific, and technical services firms, many of whom provide
consulting services to manufacturing firms. Because their skills can
be used in almost any type of organization, industrial engineers are
more widely distributed among industries than are other engineers.
Both small and
large organizations employ industrial engineers. The following is a
short sample list of employers of organizations that require the
skills of industrial engineers:
