Everyone is looking.
The total demand of new entrant technicians in the diesel industry in 2019 is nearly 30,000.
When the automotive and collision industries are added into the mix, the demand for 2019 is a staggering 125,000 technicians.
A pretty sobering number by any measure.
Couple that with the fact that according to the National Initiatives for the TechForce Foundation, the younger generation of workers are three times more likely to change jobs than baby boomers.
What's more, they're averaging more jobs as well.
So there is now an entire population demographic with absolutely no loyalty to their employer.
But there’s even more you're dealing with...
We are experiencing the lowest levels of unemployment since 1969!
What does that mean?
You're fighting local unions in the construction industry...
You're fighting government agencies looking for someone to service their fleets...
You're fighting heating and air conditioning companies...
You're even fighting large companies in the energy sector...
All for the same talent.
