Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
manufacturing, companies cannot find people who have the skills needed for the jobs that are open (Chief Executive, 2002; Jusko and McClenahen, 2004). Jusko and McClenahen call the situation a
disconnect (2004). The U.S. Labor Department reported that from February through May 2004, there were 91,000 jobs created in the country but between the summer of 2000 and December
2003, 3.1 million jobs were lost in manufacturing (Jusko and McClenahen, 2004). Millions have still not been able to find jobs (Jusko and McClenahen, 2004). Globalization has opened new
jobs but they require specific types of skills that the displaced workers do not possess (Jusko and McClenahen, 2004). The dramatic changes in the manufacturing sectors include trends towards an
increasingly more diverse workforce, rapid technological changes, offshoring, outsourcing, changes in the types of skills needed, greater emphasis on productivity, expectations from Wall Street for corporate financial performance, a global
marketplace and the need to adapt quickly (Jusko and McClenahen, 2004). A large percentage of the jobs lost in manufacturing related to these factors are gone for good (Jusko and
McClenahen, 2004). In terms of just demographics, the workforce has been changing and will continue to change; analysts forecast that by 2015, women will represent 40 percent of the entire
workforce; by 2025, almost 40 percent of the workforce will be Asian, African-American and Hispanic; and in a very different turn of events, by 2025, the elderly population will increase
by 80 percent but the population of children and working-age adults will increase by only 15 percent (Chief Executive, 2002). Another factor affecting the workforce is nonstandard and contingent
workers (Hudson, 2001). Oftentimes, workers in these two categories work for a third party, such as a temporary employment agency but they perform their work at the company (Hudson, 2001).
