Avoid Brain Drain
By 2012, the Utilities industry will experience a critical shortage of specialized labor. The American Public Power Association asserts that 45% of the electric and natural gas utilities will reach retirement age nationwide. The number of utility professionals ages 55-74 is expected to increase three times faster than all other age groups combined and with the subsequent age group of 35-44 year olds declining by 72,000 workers from previous years.*
Combined with a labor shortage, employment within the technical sector is expected to increase, with high technology contributing to almost 7% of all new job growth.
Staffing Utilities provides utilities with back office and field staffing resources with expertise in information technology, administrative, engineering and telecommunications.
