Article: Truck drivers, nurses and retail salespersons the most sought-after employees

3/29/2019

 
Certain professions require a human element that cannot be completely replaced with technology; nursing, especially, comes to mind. Nurses are in high-demand both statewide and nationally. Community colleges and universities throughout Alabama have enhanced their programs to try to fill the labor shortage.
Recently the Alabama Retail Association explained to us the significance of the economic impact of small retailers - especially in small towns that rely on their sales tax base. Retailers employ 1 in 4 of all private sector employees in Alabama, which equates to almost 400,000 Alabama residents.
It is no surprise that truckers are on this list. Distribution and Logistics is one of the state of Alabama's targeted business sectors. Alabama remains a hub for distribution and transportation logistics both nationally and globally. #Our67

Alabama international exports topped $21 billion last year

3/14/2019

 
Considering the myriad of global trade disputes that dominated worldwide news last year, it is impressive that Alabama maintained $21.3 billion in exports. Other countries demonstrated a continued need for made in Alabama products, especially in the industries of transportation as well as aerospace.
With global companies continuing to seek products made in Alabama, it is important that our state continues to stay on the forefront of issues that affect economic and foreign policy as well as international trade. Organizations such as the Export Alabama Alliance, Alabama District Export Council, North Alabama International Trade Association, US Chamber of Commerce, and Birmingham Council on Foreign Relations disseminate information and therefore help economic development professionals make educated decisions to best serve the people of Alabama.
