Shortage of skilled airplane workers slows aerospace recovery

LYNNWOOD — The tight labor market could get even tighter for scores of Boeing suppliers hoping to add new workers.

In the quest to hire, they face greater competition from the aerospace giant that butters their bread, The Boeing Co.

In January, Boeing said it expects to hire 10,000 production workers this year even as it plans to cut 2,000 white-collar jobs.

Finding skilled labor has been an ongoing challenge for many aerospace manufacturers as they ramp up production to meet demand. It was also one of the main topics at the annual Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance conference, held last week at the Lynnwood Convention Center.

1. Easier to find if you pay a living wage

Just sayin

2. How many were laid off during the pandemic?

How many were laid off during the pandemic and found permanent employment in other industries? That’s the root cause of much of the pilot shortage. I’ll bet it works the same way for machinists.

Employer greed.
