Metal Fabricating Shops Need Help Finding Workers
By Mark Stocker, President of MetalJobs Network

The cardinal sin of business is to leave money on the table due to a lack of supply or inventory. That appears to be precisely what is occurring in the metal fabrication industry, yet it is not the fault of metal shops.

Imports that require manufacturing have increased for an incredible 14 straight months, exceeding the already high-speed rate of expansion set this past July. The country’s manufacturing center is blazing hot, yet metal fabricating shops struggle to meet demand, primarily because they are having trouble finding workers.
