Welders Are Quitting EVERYWHERE — It’s Worse Than You Think

America is facing a growing shortage of welders as experienced workers retire faster than new workers enter the trade. Manufacturers, construction companies, shipyards, pipelines, energy companies, and infrastructure projects across the country are struggling to find enough skilled welders to fill open positions. The shortage is leading to project delays, rising labor costs, and growing concerns about the future of America’s skilled workforce. Many employers say demand for welders continues to rise while fewer young workers are choosing careers in the trades. Experts warn the problem could become even worse over the next decade as a large portion of the current workforce reaches retirement age. In this video, we break down why welders are leaving the industry, why companies are struggling to replace them, and what it could mean for the future of American manufacturing and construction. https://www.jayreedtv.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayyreed?_t=ZP-8xpYGIP7xPD&_r=1 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/RealJayReed Facebook: facebook.com/thejayreed video credit: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSayAtet/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSayHyYC/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSayVgvU/ This video includes my commentary and reactions to publicly available TikTok content, used under Fair Use for discussion and critique.
