为石油和天然气行业培养熟练的劳动力——俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州的雇主和学院分析Developing a Skilled Workforce for the Oil and Natural

在经历了一段缓慢的增长之后，美国的天然气产量从2007年到2013年增长了25%以上（Hausman和Kellogg，2015年）。此外，该行业预计到2035年将有190万个职位空缺（IHS Global Inc.，2016）。这一前所未有的扩张迅速改变了俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州（即“三州”地区）的就业形势。随着该行业创纪录的增长和进一步的需求预期，确保雇主有机会获得一支有准备、有技能的劳动力队伍对维持三州地区的经济增长至关重要。

Following a period of slow growth, natural gas production in the United States grew by more than 25 percent from 2007 to 2013 (Hausman and Kellogg, 2015). Further, the industry anticipates 1.9 million job openings through 2035 (IHS Global Inc., 2016). Tis unprecedented expansion has rapidly changed the employment landscape in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia (i.e., the “tristate” region). With record growth in the industry and further demand expected, ensuring that employers have access to a prepared, skilled workforce is paramount to sustaining economic growth in the tristate region.
