REPORT: Moldmakers in High Demand Across the U.S.

JackRecruitingMarch 8, 2018

According to a recent poll, 75% of injection molding companies across the US plan on increasing their hiring in 2018. Of the companies polled, only 5% said they did not plan to hire, with the remaining 20% undecided.

 

“The continued need to find skilled people to fill technical positions continues to outweigh the need to fill administrative and leadership positions…”

 

Another issue that ties in with a national increase in hiring is our aging workforce. Of the 120 U.S. Mold Makers AMBA surveyed, over 50% of the employees were 46 and over, meaning half of the workforce will be retiring in the next 10 – 15 years. With this large wave of retirees comes a large shortage of high skilled labor, leaving a massive skills gap for Mold Makers.

 

The silver lining? Now is the perfect time to jump into a career in mold making – with 50% of the workforce possessing high levels of skill and experience combined with a large increasing in demand, there’s no better time to get into a hot industry and receive top level training from qualified professionals, and Carlson is no exception!

Not only did our workforce increase by 13% from June 2017 – January 2018, Carlson plans on growing 20% in 2018 alone. Our facilities are packed with some of the best experts in mold making and our boost in recruiting means more opportunities to launch or continue your career here.
