Labor Shortages in the Resource Sector

Demographic data show that the majority of the resource related workforce is in the 40-60 year age group. There are very few resource professionals in the 20-40 year age group (and that age group is skewed towards environmental expertise) and it is expected that 40% of professionals will be retiring over the next 10 years. Enrollments in resource related university programs have been at low levels for decades.
