Finding skilled labor remains one of the top issues facing manufacturing today. We have all heard people say that there are no careers in manufacturing anymore, and we have seen the reports in the mass media about the doom and gloom of employment in manufacturing.

But in reality we currently have a skilled labor crisis, and it’s projected to get even worse.

We all must get involved in doing something about it now.

Manufacturing Engineering magazine reported that there is a serious lack of skilled machinists and technicians as baby boomers leave the workforce. As much as 50% of our current manufacturing workforce will retire in the next decade, and few training and skill-development programs are in place to compensate for this loss. Jim Ellison of Ellison Technology was quoted in the article: “Some work is going overseas simply because we have no capacity to man the machines to produce what is required.”

Roughly a quarter of the nation’s 637,000 aerospace workers could be eligible for retirement this year, raising fears that America may be facing a serious skills shortage in the factories that churn out commercial and military aircraft.
