The CEO of the Indiana Manufacturers Association says they are optimistic about the economy recovery, but Brian Burton also told Inside Indiana Business there are still some challenges with hiring.
The biggest one is that 40 percent of employees are “baby boomers” who will retire in the next ten years, and there aren’t enough qualified workers in the population to replace all of them.
Burton says a large majority of manufacturing companies can increase production if they could just find the workers.
