The Karl Neupert,Education Foundation Trustees recently commissioned a national labor study to determine both the short-term and long-term state of labor in the PHCP & PVF industry.
The purpose of the study is to determine how many people are currently employed in the three segments of our industry: distribution, manufacturing and manufacturers representatives. More importantly, the study seeks to identify how many people will leave our industry over the next 10 years through retirement or other outside opportunities. The ASA Education Foundation commissioned GMP Research to conduct the survey during the summer and interviewed 1,850 distributor, manufacturer and rep firms, and also used other industry data from sources such as the U.S. Department
of Labor.
