The Gadfly Investigations Newspaper attended this terrific event today - "Business Works in Oakland County". A big thank you to all who worked on this event, I can see positive things coming out of programs like this. I particularly want to thank Michigan Works for the great 'SWAG' - I am a big fan of Michigan Works and have attended many of their classes (mostly at the Ferndale Career Center). If you are unemployed or a small business you must look into the programs they have to offer - they are a great resource for us here in Michigan. A big thank you to Troy Marriott for a terrific breakfast buffet and to their wonderful 'wait' staff.
Some informational takeaways:
- Mechanical Engineers - most difficult position to fill (anyone searching for a college major and want to be assured of a job?????)
- Mechanical Engineers median hourly earnings = $43.11
- Largest employer in Oakland County.........Beaumont Hospitals followed by Chrysler Group LLC
- Hard to fill (skilled) jobs that do NOT require a college degree - Tool & Die Makers, Machinists,and Welders (trade school anyone?????)
- Median hourly earnings for above jobs , respectively = $26.15, $22.84 and $18.12 (trade school anyone????)
- Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing,Controls and Robotics Engineers are also in high demand (some good advice - learn to love math if you want to succeed)
