Plumbing Jobs are Everywhere, but Where are All the Skilled Plumbers?
Each year there are more Plumbers that retire or just leave the industry to pursue other career paths than there are new people entering the trade. With the demand for skilled Plumbers now outpacing the supply, compensation levels are expected to increase as employers continue to get more aggressive in their recruiting strategies.
(PRWEB) November 16, 2005 -- According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the demand for experienced Plumbers (Fire Sprinklerfitters, Pipefitter, Gasfitters and Steamfitters) is likely to increase by 10 – 20 % over the next seven years. Based on the labor statistics from 2002, an additional 110,000 Plumbers could be needed by the year 2012.
Each year there are more Plumbers that retire or just leave the industry to pursue other career paths than there are new people entering the trade. With the demand for skilled Plumbers now outpacing the supply, compensation levels are expected to increase as employers continue to get more aggressive in their recruiting strategies. There simply aren’t enough people to fill all the available plumbing jobs. Passive forms of advertising such as an employment ad in the local newspaper, job posting on a career site or a help wanted sign on the back of your trucks simply aren’t enough to attract new employees, and hiring a professional recruiter to track down skilled workers just isn’t within the budget for most companies.
So what can Plumbing, Piping and Fire Suppression companies do to find the key people they need to hire?
BAND TOGETHER with the help of Plumbing Agent!
