Visa Restrictions Add To Labor Shortage

A survey by Salary.com said that workers in the state of Missouri led the nation in time wasted at work with an average of 3.2 hours per eight-hour workday.

Over the next five to ten years, the industry stands to lose between 25 to 40 per cent of its workforce. Fifty per cent of the work force is between the ages of 40 and 54. In some regions, up to 61 per cent of the work force will retire by 2008. Considering closures, retirements, voluntary separation,
immigration, and post-secondary graduates, even under a low growth scenario, this can easily represent a potential labour supply gap of approximately 48,270 workers over the next 10 years.
