Recently, we attended the Kentucky Association of Manufacturer’s executive briefing in Northern Kentucky. A main topic was the difficulty manufacturers’ face recruiting skilled talent. With our economy waking up and the Dow Jones hitting an all-time high, manufacturing is starting to grow at an impressive 6.1% year-over-year pace.
Manufacturing innovation is the heartbeat of our country and fundamental to the American dream because these businesses perform 70% of all private-sector research and development. For nearly thirty years now, we’ve found that technology is key to finding and retaining the best employees and to improve efficiencies.
