Dave Regan, Semper International Co-Founder and CEO, shared a larger perspective on staffing trends fter digging into broader HR specific reports and forecasts. “There has been a significant change in the labor force and availability of skilled workers, and we are seeing this uptick of ready-to-work talent in the industry segments we serve. Economic factors both for individuals and corporations have shaped a more positive landscape for employers to fill positions across all areas of the U.S. compared to previous years.”
The data collected for each survey represents several industry categories: commercial printing, packaging, display and large format graphics, apparel and decorating, and others. Critical to this report is a commitment from contributors to provide steady consistent quarterly data. Semper’s objective is to provide information that is a balanced mix of geography, revenue, and company types.
Q2 2023 survey highlights include:
There was a drop in profitability due to the economic volatility. Semper saw many organizations incorporate short-term cost-saving measures and a focus on increased efficiencies.
Continued focus on engaging new talent and retention to keep staffing levels on point and be at the ready to accept and deliver on projected upcoming sales.
Shared optimism and investment into personnel acquisition in tandem with equipment and software improvements will set up a positive platform into 2024.
