HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) – A new study finds that north Alabama could face serious challenges to find qualified workers to fill the many jobs that have flooded the region.
A labor market analysis was recently commissioned by north Alabama elected leaders.
Deloitte analyzed the situation and its findings signal a potential crisis in the future that will require an extraordinary effort to overcome, Al.com reported.
A national recruiting effort is needed to attract people to fill the jobs, said Darin Buelow, global location strategy leader for Deloitte.
In a recent presentation to area civic leaders, Buelow said the Huntsville area must fill about 25,000 new jobs by 2023.
