Technician labor shortage

According to a study by the TechForce Foundation, there is an expected shortage of approximately 642,000 automotive, diesel, and collision technicians in the US by 2024 if current trends continue.

The shortage of automotive technicians is due to several factors, including a lack of interest among younger generations in pursuing careers in the automotive industry, a retiring workforce, and the increasing complexity of modern vehicles. The latter requires specialized skills and training, which means that new technicians need to undergo extensive training and gain experience to be competent in their work.

The labor shortage could have several consequences for the automotive industry. Customers may experience longer wait times for vehicle repairs and maintenance, as well as an increase in the cost of services due to the limited supply of skilled technicians. Additionally, the slowdown in the industry's overall growth could impact innovation, research and development, and the availability of new technologies.

What is the average salary for an automotive technician ?

The average salary for automotive technicians in 2021 varies depending on several factors, such as experience, type of business, and location. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for automotive service technicians and mechanics in the US was $44,050 in May 2020. However, the salary range can be anywhere from around $25,000 to $70,000 or more per year.
