Blog Post: Manufacturing Remains an Attractive Career Option in Orange County

Manufacturing remains an attractive career option in Orange County.
The U.S. Labor Department wrote in a study "Too few young people
consider manufacturing careers and often are unaware of the skills
needed in an advanced environment." That shortage of skilled workers
is likely to worsen over time as baby boomers retire
 but are replaced with ever decreasing numbers of
skilled manufacturing workers to take their place. A
recent study released by the National Association of
Manufacturers and the Manufacturing Institute, reports
that 81% of American manufacturers say their biggest
problem is finding qualified skilled workers. If this problem isn't
fixed in the foreseeable future, the report states it
will severely impact our nation's economic
well-being. Opportunities exist in the Manufacturing
Industry for Machinists, Computer
Numerical Control (CNC) Specialist/Lathe, CNC Miller, Mold Makers,
Tool and Die Makers, and Press Operators, Quality Control
Inspectors, Assemblers, Technicians, Industrial Engineers and others.
