Air Products – “Can’t find enough
skilled workers”
Salt River Project Coronado
Generating Plant - < 5 years 100%
workers eligible for retirement
“But it's not just the departure of older, seasoned workers
that is raising fears of vanishing manufacturing skills in the
United States. The

is buttressed by
what many perceive as
a lack of interest by young people in manufacturing
as a
career.”
