Sharp Drop in Jobs Heightens Aviation Worries
Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 -- The worst fears of consumers, investors and executives are being confirmed, as employment and stock prices plummet, underscoring fears in the aviation sector that the good times are coming to an end.
Last week, the Labor Department estimated that the nation lost 63,000 jobs in February, the second consecutive monthly decline. The jobs report was so bleak, most economists now admit that the nation is in recession. Meanwhile, paradoxically, aviation companies in all niches continue to report a chronic inability to recruit, train and retain sufficiently skilled workers. The result of these interrelated trends is enormous uncertainty in the aviation job market.
These employment convulsions will be at the top of the agenda during a new webinar, "The Aviation Job Market: How to Find - and Keep - the Right People", sponsored by the web site Aviation Today and scheduled for March 13, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (ET).

Speakers on the webinar will include Alison Mayo, partner relationship manager, JobTarget; Ramon Lopez, editor-in-chief, Air Safety Week; and Joy Finnegan, editor-in-chief, Aviation Maintenance magazine. The speakers will address how aviation businesses can win the fierce competition for talented employees.
"Jobs for crucial positions, such as pilot, mechanic and engineer, go begging or are plagued by high turnover," says webinar moderator John Persinos, publisher and editorial director of Aviation Today. "At the same time, new anxiety about the economy is creating a self-perpetuating spiral of falling stock prices, tight credit and rising unemployment."
This webinar will cover the following topics:
? As experienced pilots retire and older ones are restricted in the amount of hours they can fly, how can operators get the men and women they need to fly their aircraft?
? The avionics industry is burgeoning with new growth and innovations, and yet companies are experiencing difficulty in finding capable engineers with the right skills. How can companies compete for the best engineering talent? Which hiring and retention policies are worth emulating?
? Demand for maintenance is mushrooming, as passenger miles and orders for new aircraft increase. Moreover, upkeep on aging aircraft can no longer be deferred. These factors all translate into huge demand for skilled mechanics - and yet, maintenance shops are having trouble filling their slots. How can the MRO field find the right people for the right job - and what are the best policies to keep them?
? How can online Job Boards assist Human Resources managers in their quest to create the best workplace?
? What are the ramifications for air safety in all of this workplace turmoil?
