hey y'all,
i also visit the a.w.s. website and there is a hot topic about "where have the welders gone". there are many factors as to why there is a shortage of experienced welders. and it is important to know why the problem is, in order to fix the problem but, i would like to hear from you guys on this and ideas on how to fix this verry serious problem.
according to the hobart institute, 62% of the students surveyed said they would feel unsuccessful if they were employed in manufacturing. the students also consider manufacturing "dirty, boring, and smelly".
the u.s. dept of labor estimates that by the year 2028 there will be 200,000,000 jobs in america and only 180,000,000 skilled workers.
american welding society says that the average age of skilled welders is in their mid 50's, meaning that in the next 10 to 15 years over half will retire.
what do you all think and how can we fix this?
