NMMA Survey Questions Workforce Challenges

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) is conducting a survey of its members and industry stakeholders to develop a better understanding of the challenges companies face in attracting and retaining qualified employees and what potential solutions may exist.

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. manufacturers cite the inability to attract skilled workers as the top workforce challenge, and there are more than 31,000 open jobs in the U.S. marine industry. A large majority of NMMA members and industry stakeholders have indicated that workforce challenges are a top concern. NMMA is asking companies to take a few minutes to complete its brief survey. The deadline is March 29.
