The Skills Gap in Manufacturing 82% of manufacturers report a moderate-toserious skills gap in skilled production. 74% of manufacturers report that this skills gap has negatively impacted their company s ability to expand operations. 69% of manufacturers expect the skills shortage in skilled production to worsen in the next 3-5 years. 2
In Aviation By 2014, almost 40% of employees in large aviation and aerospace businesses will be eligible for retirement. Aerospace contributed $97 billion in export sales to America s economy in 2007. Every aerospace dollar yields an extra $1.50 to $3 in further economic activity.
