The Future of Plumbing

There Will Be A Shortage Of Plumbers

There are 350 million people in the U.S. and Canada combined and only 1.3 million people that work in the HVACR industry. Thats roughly 1 Plumbing-Heating-Cooling person for every 269 people.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics by the year 2018, its estimated that there will be a need for 86,000 new workers in the field. Ten years from now 95 percent of the Baby Boomer generation will have retired, but for every 4 workers that leave, only 1 is entering the field.

4:1

For every 4 skilled workers that

leave the construction industry,

only 1 is entering the field

It's our job, now more than ever, to help encourage young people to enter the work force. The PHCC and PHCC Educational Foundation have put together a task force specifically designed to attract and train the next generation of workers. There are many helpful tools approved by the U.S. Dept of Labor including apprentice programs, eLearning options, instructor resources, career videos and scholarships. Each state addresses the issue in their own way, for more information on how you can help please visit phccweb.org.
