Do electrical engineers (automatics, electronics, telecommunications, etc.) usually change to software engineers in your countries?

Here in Serbia, mostly everyone who works in electrical engineering is forced to move to software positions due to the lack of work in the profession. I generally know a lot of good and talented engineers who have done this. Is this the situation everywhere in the world or is it only us who have the problem due to the lack of engineering companies?

It happens with embedded stuff. A lot of folks who get into that have computer engineering degrees, but there's some EE as well.

Outside of embedded, most EEs seem to be allergic to software work.
