Kreischer Miller's 2017 Lehigh Valley Manufacturing Survey was featured in an October 13, 2017 article in The Morning Call about the talent supply in the manufacturing industry.
According to the article, the most recent Talent Shortage Survey released last year by ManpowerGroup showed that 46 percent of U.S. employers reported difficulties filling jobs, up from 32 percent in 2015. This is an issue that the Lehigh Valley is grappling with as well, especially in the manufacturing sector. Kreischer Miller's survey respondents indicated that a lack of qualified workers is their top barrier to business growth in 2017.
