The job market dynamics in the shipbuilding industry are constantly changing.


The variables are influenced by various factors, such as global economic conditions, trade policies, and technological advancements. For example, with the increase in demand for renewable energy, there has been a growing need for ships that can transport and install wind turbines.

The shipbuilding industry is a crucial part of the United States economy, providing employment opportunities for thousands of workers. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. shipbuilding industry employed approximately 110,000 workers in 2019. The field has a significant impact on the nation’s trade and transportation systems, and the Navy relies heavily on the shipbuilding industry for the construction of new vessels.

Get all hands on deck, and everywhere else.

We have the skilled labor for the critical jobs, with specific expertise for the shipbuilding industry. Each job requires a unique set of skills and qualifications, and all are essential to the construction of a ship.

Finding good workers isn’t like it used to be.

Most of us are all too familiar with the challenges presented by the constantly evolving labor market that has been thrust upon us by a wide range of factors beyond our control: supply chain issues, the remote work phenomenon, shortages in skilled labor, inflation, and more. New and changing factors are consistently forcing organizations in all industries to reconsider how they address labor and recruitment. Organizations need to be more nimble and flexible in their approach to fill gaps in production, meet increased demand that an opportunity may produce, or find more qualified candidates to better balance costs with productivity.

Reduce your stress and risk.

When you have an experienced, qualified craftsperson on the job you can rest a little easier and have confidence in hitting your objectives. You also have the added benefit of limiting your risk. This route is ideal for projects and companies needing temporary employment, short-term labor and/or back-office support. Limit your exposure, time demands, and costs associated with finding the perfect tradesperson.

Not just anyone can do this critical work.

The shipbuilding industry plays a pivotal role in the world economy and provides a wide range of job opportunities with increased competition for skilled talent needed to complete projects. The job market dynamics within the industry are constantly evolving, and the industry is heavily influenced by global economic conditions and government policies. Find the workers you need to make an impact in this crucial part of the nation’s economy and make sure you are prepared for the next big order or deadline.

One of the key details regarding the shipbuilding industry in the United States is the Jones Act, a federal law that requires all ships that transport goods between U.S. ports to be built, owned, and operated by U.S. citizens. This law provides job security for U.S. workers in the industry, but it also limits competition and can drive up costs for consumers.

Traveling contract labor has a vital impact on shipbuilding.

These skilled workers provide necessary expertise and flexibility for the industry. They often travel to different locations and labor on a project-by-project basis, allowing companies to adjust their workforce as needed. Additionally, contract workers can provide specialized skills that may not be available in the local workforce.

In recent years, there has been a rise in the use of contract workers within the shipbuilding industry. This shift is partly due to the changing nature of work and the desire for companies to have more flexibility in their workforce. However, the rise of contract workers has also led to concerns about job security and wage disparities. As a result, many workers and labor organizations are advocating for better protections and benefits for contract workers in the industry. Teaming-up with CraftForce is a way to elevate the skilled trades.

How do you defy the skilled-labor shortage?

Our experienced team has spent years developing an expert craftworker pool of qualified carpenters, welders, electricians, pipefitters, machinists, and engineers, many of whom have followed the labor market in becoming more comfortable with adjusting to seasonality and location in an effort to stay busy with more right-fit jobs that keep them challenged, earning, and developing. Discover more candidates by dipping into this pool of qualified tradespeople that are capable and willing to make the journey for good jobs. Adding contract labor to augment your full-time roster will give you another lever to pull when demand requires, time is critical, and a particular skill set is needed. There may be more resources at your disposal than you imagined.

Match the talent to the task.

A major part of leveraging traveling, contract workers is the ability to match the right experience and skill level to job requirements every time, everywhere. You may find that adding the high-performing talent of a truly skilled craftsperson can allow your team to focus on tasks better suited to their role, or keep their focus on the core business while adding short-term fire-power for special projects. By having a perfect-fit player in the job you will be assured of the results without additional training or stress.
