Manufacturing survey somewhat grim for hiring
A shortage of talented workers is one of the top three concerns of manufacturers in the Cincinnati, Dayton and Springfield region, according to the annual report released at the end of October by public accounting firm Clark Schaefer Hackett.
The firm surveyed manufacturers in the above-mentioned region, where it has offices.
As first reported by Staff Writer Tom Gnau on Oct. 29, health care costs, pricing pressure from customers and a shortage of talented workers are the same trio of concerns manufacturers shared in the 2012 and 2011 surveys.
In the coming year, equal percentages of responding companies plan to hire additional workers and don’t plan to hire, the survey found. Forty-four percent of respondents saying it is “unlikely” that they will hire workers. Another 44 percent said they were likely to hire, while 12 percent simply weren’t sure about hiring plans.
