St. Louis, Missouri (PRWEB) January 17, 2013
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) contractors looking for plentiful job opportunities, high salaries, available training and large numbers of service calls should head for the Golden Coast or the Buckeye State, according to a list of top states to work in HVACR complied by Emerson Climate Technologies, a business segment of Emerson.
One of the key challenges facing the HVACR industry is a shortage of qualified technicians. Emerson created the list after talking to contractors and HVACR students and instructors about what motivates young people to pursue careers in this industry. According to the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), an estimated additional 57,000 skilled workers are needed each year to work in the HVACR industry.
I have talked to contractors from all 50 states during my career at Emerson and I have found a lot of pride in the work, whether theyre keeping up with the demand for residential air conditioning in the southwest or working to keep food safe in northeast population centers, said Bob Labbett, Vice President, Marketing, Distribution Services, Emerson Climate Technologies. This list is an interesting way to draw attention to the important issue facing our industryrecruiting talented people from across the country to take the place of an aging workforce.
Emersons top 10 ranking draws on HVACR salary and employment data from the U.S. Department of Labor; trade school locations recognized by the Partnership for Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Accreditation; heating and cooling degree days calculated at DegreeDays.net; residential home values from the U.S. Census, and certified contractors by state from North American Technician Excellence (NATE). Emerson also draws upon its own data to look at wholesaler locations and commercial service volumes from its ProAct Service Center.
