The Idaho National Laboratory faces ‘perfect storm’ of aging workforce and lack of STEM candidates, director says

Idaho’s population is aging. The retirement of the baby boomers will produce a workforce gap if the economy keeps producing new jobs at its current rate, according to the Idaho Department of Labor. By 2025 the number of vacant positions in Idaho will be about 63,000.

The gap is likely to hit the INL, where 30 percent of the staff is over the age of 50 and much of the company’s projected growth is in technology fields it could become hard to hire for, Peters said.
