Manufacturing Industry
What percentage of staff have organizations laid off since the U.S. and global
recession began in December 2007? Overall, the majority (66%) of respondents
from the manufacturing industry indicated they had lost 10% of employees or less in
2011, whereas in 2010, 43% of these organizations reported losing less than 10% of
employees.
How does organizations’ financial health compare to 12 months ago? The
manufacturing industry reported improved organizational financial health
compared with a year ago. The percentage of manufacturing organizations that
were in a significant recovery increased from 6% in 2010 to 19% in 2011.

- 5. Key Findings: Hiring
Manufacturing Industry
Are organizations currently hiring? Three-quarters (75%) of respondents from the
manufacturing industry are currently hiring, which is an increase from 51% in 2010.
Are organizations creating new positions or replacing jobs lost? In 2011, more than
half (54%) of organizations in the manufacturing industry are hiring direct
replacements of jobs lost since the recession began, an increase of 12 percentage
points compared with 2010 (42%). Fewer organizations are hiring for completely
new positions in 2011 (32%) than they were in 2010 (48%).

- 6. Key Findings: Recruiting Challenges
Manufacturing Industry
Is recruiting for specific jobs difficult in the current labor market? Among
organizations that are currently hiring full-time staff, more than two-thirds (68%) of
respondents from the manufacturing industry indicated that their organizations are
having a difficult time recruiting for specific open jobs. When recruiting for jobs that
require new and different skill sets in the manufacturing industry, more
organizations are finding it difficult to find qualified individuals for these positions in
2011 (72%) compared with 2010 (43%).
What types of jobs are the most difficult to fill? The top five most difficult positions
to fill for the manufacturing industry are high-skilled technical positions
(e.g., technicians and programmers) (89%), engineers (88%), skilled trades
(e.g., electricians, carpenters) (83%), managers and executives (80%), and sales
representatives (74%).
