Production positions saw 3% fewer applicants January through June of this year compared with the same period in 2020, while non-production applications are up 15% year over year, according to the iCIMS report.
This means talent for production occupations has been even more scarce than it was last year during the onset of the pandemic, while non-production applications have recovered some ground since then. Meanwhile, since May, applications in the travel and hospitality industry are up 11%, health services up 8%, retail trade up 7% and financial, real estate and insurance industries up 5%.
To fill both production and non-production openings employers in the overall transportation equipment industry are resorting to a cornucopia of come-ons including signing bonuses, richer benefits, work from home options, even raffles for gifts, according to Moss.
I don’t believe this. Let’s look into the applications received and see if jobs are being unreasonable in the candidate selection.
The incentives are solid but, it isn’t a job many grow up to desire. I’d say, train the excess Uber/Lyft drivers to transition to higher transportation jobs.
For too long we have discouraged and even vilified these essential careers and it has left us with a workforce without the necessary skills to fill the needed jobs
