Welding industry in need of workers
WGHP-TV
Share
 Welding may be a tough job, but it pays well and the industry is in need of workers all across the country. Many baby boomers who became welders are nearing retirement and there are much fewer young workers who are filling open positions in the field. A study by the American Welding Society predicts
there will be a shortage of about 400,000 welders by 2014.

Waterloo, Ia. community college moves to address welder shortage

"Wanted: Skilled welders."
That's the kind of classified advertisement job seekers can expect to see in the coming years, according to the Miami-based American Welding Society, which says there will be a need for 238,692 new and replacement welders across the U.S. by 2019. The society said there were about 500,000 welders in the U.S. in 2007. "The average welder is about 55, so they're actually retiring at about twice the rate new
welders are coming into the workforce," said Cindy Weihl, spokeswoman for the society.
The reason behind the shortage is simple, Weihl said.
"For past 20-25 years, the push has been to go to college and get a white collar job, and enrollment at technical and vocational schools fell," she said. Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Ia., is doing its part to change this trend.

Polacek Sr. The elder John Polacek founded what is now JWF Industries in 1958 on the back of his pickup truck. When he passed away in 1987, his son Bill bought the company from his mother. Since then, the family-run business has grown into a large welding, fabricating, machining and
powder coating company with more than 450 employees and is celebrating its 24th anniversary as a top employer in Cambria County, Pa. and the surrounding area.

Most people walk right by Greg Smith's work and never notice it. As an Everett, Wash., city welder, Smith fashions steel fences, fabricates electrical boxes and welds public art into place downtown.
He's the guy who ventures into dark muddy holes to fix broken water mains in the middle of the night.
His skills with a welding torch can help the city squeeze a few more years of life from a rusty vactor truck. The public usually can't see his hard work — until now.
