Transit: National Jobs 'Hot Spot'
DOT and the Departments of Labor and Education recently released Strengthening Skills Training and Career Pathways Across the Transportation Industry, which details future employment “hot spots” in transportation, identifies good-paying, high-demand transportation jobs and analyzes the patterns in the education and work experience required for entry.
The report notes that employers will need to hire and train 4.6 million new workers—1.2 times the current transportation workforce—due to growth, retirements and turnover in the transportation industry from 2012 to 2022.Further, it cites projections suggesting that 417,000 of those jobs will be created because of increased demand for transit and ground passenger transportation on the West Coast and Gulf Coast and in the upper Mid-Atlantic, mountain states and the Midwest.
