annuallyto gauge manufacturing professionals’ views on the year ahead. More than 650 manufacturingprofessionals responded to the survey, which was conducted online in October and November.Respondents represented a multitude of industries, including automotive, medical device,aerospace, and oil and gas.According to this year’s results, 41 percent of manufacturers said finding skilled workers will bethe number one challenge in 2018, compared with 30 percent who reported the economy as theirbiggest hurdle. (2)This difference between the skills required to perform a specified job, and the actual skills thatemployees possess is defined as “skills gap.”Over the next decade, nearly three and a half million manufacturing jobs likely need to be filledand the
