American manufacturers are forecasting a rise in demand for specialized skills. Manufacturing organizations face challenges involving recruiting and maintaining good quality workers. America will need to keep these positions filled if it is to continue to effectively compete in the global economy. The desirable skillsets focus on technology. This opportunity opens the door for those with technology-based talents, mainly those in the younger generations.<\/p>\n

“You can’t meet demand if you don’t have enough people to make the products. We want to outcompete the rest of the world. We want America to be the number one manufacturer in the world,” National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons said. “We’ve got to make sure folks understand what exciting careers are available in manufacturing.”<\/p>\n

There are more than 600,000 openings for manufacturing jobs in the U.S., according to May Labor Department data.<\/p>\n

“That number is going to rise to about 2.1 million vacancies or open jobs by the year 2030 if we don’t take a different path,” Timmons warned.<\/p>\n

Around 1.7 million employees were laid off, quit or left manufacturing jobs in March and April 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic first took hold. Many of those workers were eventually hired back along with additional people to fill those roles. The number of those working in the manufacturing sector has since surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with around 200,000 additional workers now employed than in January 2020.<\/p>\n

“We pay more than any other sector of the economy. The average salary is six digits,” Timmons said. “If you want to be able to provide for your family in the long term, manufacturing is certainly a key way of life.”<\/p>\n

Despite the increase in workers, job openings have surged. In January 2020, there were 412,000 available manufacturing jobs. In April 2022, there were over a million. Timmons said workers are needed in every area of the manufacturing sector.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
