22,000 Jobs in the Sector
As more manufacturing jobs come back to America, EmploymentCrossing.com has been able to
find 22,000 manufacturing jobs in the past few months.
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) October 16, 2012 -- Manufacturing jobs are making a comeback to America. These
jobs require highly-skilled workers and pay as well and in some cases more than several white-collar
professions. EmploymentCrossing.com has been able to find 22,000 manufacturing jobs and several thousand
related jobs in the past few months. The new home for these jobs is across America. In almost every region
there is a shortage of skilled workers able to handle the new technologies involved in today’s manufacturing.

Commenting on this recent increase in manufacturing jobs, EmploymentCrossing CEO Harrison Barnes says,
“Today’s high paying factory jobs today require a good knowledge of math and even pay $30 an hour, which
works out to almost $60,000 a year. Most people would consider that a solid middle-class job.”

Barnes’ job board, EmploymentCrossing.com, by researching all sources of jobs, including small and niche
publications, has been able to find manufacturing jobs even in places such as Williston, North Dakota; the site
of a major oil boom right now.

The Manufacturing Institute, in a recent survey, found that 82 percent of the respondents said that they were
ready to hire more workers but there was “a dearth of qualified candidates” in the pipeline. 80 percent of the
respondents also said they did not see the worker shortage being solved for at least the next few years.

On top of this, the fact that millions of baby boomers have started entering retirement means that there will be a
shortage of workers not just across the entry-level jobs, but also with respect to more experienced workers. The
engineering jobs in factories will be harder to fill as experienced and qualified engineers retire without training
their replacements. In fact, this is considered to be one of the biggest dangers to American manufacturing by
several economic and manufacturing experts.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch quotes Stan Shoun, president of the Ranken Technical College, as saying “If I was
a company, I'd be scared to death about the future, especially if I depended on labor and technology,” Ranken
and other community colleges have seen an increase in their enrollment as more people realize the lucrative
careers that manufacturing now offers.

Jennifer McNelly, President of the Manufacturing Institute, in a recent keynote address, said “Access to
talented individuals with a high-quality education and advanced skills is critical to manufacturers’ capacity for
innovation and business success.” The recently concluded Manufacturing Day on October 5 was meant to
celebrate American manufacturing and inspire the younger generation to look at manufacturing as a serious
career option. Many entry-level jobs in manufacturing also pay a higher wage than several service occupations.
