Air Traffic Controller Employment Crisis Looming
Many industries in the United States of America face severe crisis due to not enough skilled labor to run the infrastructure or man all the jobs. One of the most serious looming crisis is in employment is coming in the Federal Aviation Administration's air traffic controller job sector.
Due to the number of people retiring or air traffic controllers and the increasing air traffic in the United States due to impart globalization we simply will not have enough air traffic controllers by the year 2012. In fact we will be over 20,000 people short at that time and it will only get worse.
What is the Federal Aviation Administration doing to curb this looming crisis? Well a couple of things; one, they are working with NASA to build artificially intelligent supercomputers to control the air traffic and alleviate some of the human responsibility, which so often also is associated with human error causing accidents, incidents or mishaps.
Will this be enough? No, probably not in fact the GAO recently published a report of just how dire the situation was for air traffic controllers in this country now and in future years. Things look pretty bleak.
If you are looking for a job with the Federal Aviation Administration and wish to become an air-traffic controller you will find yourself in a very high paying and rewarding job with excellent benefits and you will help this looming crisis. Please consider this in 2006.
