AWS Welding Workforce Data website shares statistics, projections
The AWS Foundation has launched Welding Workforce Data, a website dedicated to sharing accurate welding workforce statistics and projections. Approved by AWS and powered by Emsi labor market data, careersinwelding.com, and the U.S. Department of Education College Affordability and Transparency lists, the website shows projected welding needs and welder opportunities.
As of 2021 there are an estimated 750,000 U.S. welding professionals, and more than 160,000 are nearing retirement. Since 314,000 new welding professionals are projected to be needed by 2024, weldingworkforcedata.com is designed to provide the information people entering the welding industry need to know, such as national median salaries for different welding careers, regions with the most welding jobs, required skills for welding professionals, and median annual costs for education.
