The HVAC Industry – Poised for Growth

99

In 2010 heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers held about 267,800 jobs with about 55% working for plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. The rest were employed in a variety of industries...refrigeration and air-conditioning service and repair shops, schools...government, hospitals, office buildings, etc. About 16 percent of these workers were self-employed. (Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010-11 Edition, Job Outlook)

Industry Statistics

1010

Industry Statistics• ASHRAE estimates there are 51,000 engineering jobs related to

HVACR engineering or similar employment in the US and Canada.

• AHRI and HRAI estimates approximately 142,000 individuals are employed in the manufacturing segment of the HVACR industry in the US and Canada.

• HARDI reports that an estimated 60,000 people are employed in the HVACR wholesale distribution segment of the industry in Canada and the US.

The HVAC Industry Employs over 1.2 Million Workers

1111

Industry Forecast

The employment need of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to increase 34 percent during the 2010-20 decade, much faster than the average for all [non HVACR] occupations. As the population and stock of buildings grows, so does the demand for residential, commercial and industrial climate control systems. (Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010-11 Edition, Job Outlook)

86,000 new jobs are needed by 2018 according to the HVACR Workforce Development Foundation

Current StatePathways to Prosperity*:

• In 1973, 32% of the jobs created in the United States did not require a high school degree; by 2007, that percentage was 11%.

• From 2000 to 2010, the employment to population ratio for 18- to 19-year-olds dropped from 51.4% to 28.5%. For Americans aged 20 to 24, the drop was from 74.2% to 62.2% - Translation: If you’re a young person and don’t possess the right skills, it is very difficult to find gainful employment!

ACT Skills Gaps report…

• Significant foundational skills gaps exist for United States workers and job seekers tested with WorkKeys® skills assessments, possessing both middle and high levels of education, for jobs that require a similar level of education.

• For manufacturing, healthcare, construction and energy-related target occupations requiring a middle or high level of education, the majority of U.S. WorkKeys examinees are not able to demonstrate the required skill level for locating information. This skill involves the ability to locate, synthesize, and use information from workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps and instrument gauges.

A Model for Success

“Effective, high-quality CTE programs are aligned not only with college- and career-readiness standards, but also with the needs of employers, industry, and labor. They provide students with a curriculum based on integrated academic and technical content and strong employability skills.”

“The students participating in effective CTE programs graduate with industry certifications or licenses and postsecondary certificates or degrees that employers use to make hiring and promotion decisions. These students are positioned to become

the country’s next leaders and entrepreneurs.”

U.S. Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Adult Education, Investing in America’s Future: A Blueprint for Transforming Career and Technical Education, Washington, D.C., 2012.
