The transportation industry can't find enough applicants to fill jobs

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
