Our Manufacturing Staffing Solutions Support Skilled Trades

May 19, 2025 | Staffing Blog

The manufacturing industry is facing a significant challenge – a skilled trade shortage. With demand for workers far outpacing supply, companies are struggling to find the talent they need to keep operations running smoothly.

A recent survey found that more than 22% of U.S. manufacturing facilities are operating below capacity because of a lack of available talent. It can be overwhelming for managers responsible for staffing the manufacturing floor and keeping production going.

That’s why our manufacturing staffing solutions are designed to help bridge the skills gap, source qualified candidates for your roles, and keep your workforce strong. Whether you need short-term answers or long-term support, we have you covered with a solution that aligns with your goals. Find out how your company can benefit.

Why the Manufacturing Industry is Faced with a Skilled Trade Shortage

Before diving into solutions, let’s examine the problem facing manufacturers. The skilled trades gap has been growing for years – even decades – in some industries, including fabrication, plastics, automotive, food and beverage, electronics, semiconductors, and virtually any other sector that takes one material and turns it into something else.

Some of the key reasons for the talent gap include the following.

• Retiring Workers: Many experienced trades workers are nearing retirement, and the rate of new skilled workers entering the field isn’t keeping pace. 
• Perception of the Industry: The manufacturing industry often faces misconceptions that deter younger generations from pursuing careers in these essential roles. 
• Specialized Skills: Advanced technology has transformed manufacturing production, requiring highly specialized skills that take time and effort to develop. 

Without the right solution for your company, this skilled trade shortage can affect operations, quality control, costs from high turnover rates, and your ability to meet customer demands. Fortunately, you can solve this challenge when you work with a manufacturing staffing agency.
