Read MoreThe U.S. manufacturing sector is booming. Employment has topped 13 million as of January 2024, with nearly 393,000 establishments operating nationwide. Capital investment in manufacturing construction has nearly tripled since mid-2020, reaching a record $225 billion in early 2024 (Deloitte). But growth brings its own challenge: a critical workforce shortage. Between 2024 and 2033, manufacturers may need up to 3.8 million new workers—and if the skills gap isn’t closed, 1.9 million of those jobs could remain unfilled (Plastics Decorating, The Manufacturing Institute). That’s where staffing partners like Integrity Trade Services step in.
How Integrity Trade Services Helps Manufacturers Close the Talent Gap
1. Purpose-Driven Recruiting for Stronger Matches
Manufacturers know success isn’t just about hiring—it’s about hiring right. Nearly 65% of manufacturers say attracting and retaining talent is their top concern (Plastics Decorating). Integrity Trade Services goes beyond resumes, using in-depth interviews and comprehensive screening to match companies with candidates who are both qualified and committed for the long term.
2. Supporting Upskilling and Retention
Research shows that employees who feel they’re building skills are 2.7x less likely to leave (Business Insider). Integrity connects manufacturers with workers eager to learn—and with companies that invest in their people. The result: stronger teams, better retention, and continuous growth.
3. Meeting Demand at Scale
Clean tech, semiconductors, and federal initiatives like the IIJA, IRA, and CHIPS Act are driving a surge in new facilities—nearly 300 by 2031, creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs (Deloitte). Integrity Trade Services provides scalable workforce solutions, from small specialized crews to full-scale project teams, ensuring manufacturers can ramp up production without sacrificing quality.
4. Delivering High-Quality, Ready-to-Work Talent
More than 90% of manufacturers are now partnering with schools, training programs, and apprenticeships to recruit talent (The Manufacturing Institute). Integrity enhances these efforts by pre-qualifying candidates on technical ability, dependability, and culture fit—so clients can trust that new hires are ready to contribute from day one.
5. Promoting Inclusive and Innovative Training
Forward-thinking manufacturers like Siemens are proving that potential matters as much as experience — training candidates through hands-on and classroom learning (Business Insider). Integrity Trade Services embraces this same approach, helping companies identify candidates with strong soft skills and the drive to grow into skilled contributors.
