What is the Job Outlook for Welders?

Stick Welding
More than 50% of all man-made products require welding. Many different industries employ welders so there are a variety of jobs available. Skilled welders will have a unique opportunity to have a career that can be shaped around their interests because of the high demand for skilled workers. Welding is used in:
  • military applications
  • aircraft and aerospace applications
  • building construction
  • automotive industry
  • shipbuilding industry
  • boiler industry
  • job shops

The welding industry will face a shortage of about 400,000 welders by 2024, according to the American Welding Society. The average age of a welder is 55 and the coming wave of retirements will leave the US with a great deficit in skilled welders in the work force.  According to 2012 data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the national jobless rate for 16- to 24-year-olds is 14.4 percent, which leaves young welders at a great advantage in comparison to their counterparts. Manufacturing has grown faster than the rest of the U.S. economy since the recession.  In a recent article from Bloomberg business, Gardner Carrick, was quoted saying, "For 20 years we stopped feeding young people into the trades, and now we’re scrambling to catch up" Because of this great welder shortage, welding will certainly a viable career choice for years to come with many job opportunities for those entering the field.

As long as you have good skill, especially with TIG/MIG , there's also high demand out there waiting for you.

Canada has a surplus of skilled trades. Trudeau's Mismanaged economy has driven out most investment in pipeline and energy projects. He has allowed eco-nuts to blockade roads, bridges and rail lines. And most importantly Pipelines. Crops sit rotting in idle trains, Farmers are getting hit with Carbon Taxes on the production, transportation and fertilizer sides.

Our export economy which is no longer exporting is growing at 0.3% compared to the US at 3%.

The problem is getting a Work Visa without a Degree in Jello Haired Gender Studies.

Canadian Trades have comparable training and skills to the US, we speak your language and want to work. Our welders are trained to AWS and Boilers Branch standards.

We cannot fill all of those vacant spots, but we can sure help. How long before the pressure by Industry to fill these vacant spots forces a change in the Visa Rules?

I didn't realize that there is a shortage of welders. I would like to make sure that my future career is stable. Maybe I should look into a welding service that could help teach and train me.
