Description
The space industry is growing at around 7% annually, which translates into demand for new and diverse talent. More than 38,000 jobs have been added to the industry in the last seven years. These include roles traditionally associated with the industry, such as aerospace engineers, and expertise familiar to other sectors, like legal staff, accountants, and operations personnel. Despite this growth, or partly because of it, the space industry has struggled to attract and retain talent, due to shortages, an aging workforce, and other issues. As the industry grows further, human capital challenges will likely continue to shape its trajectory.
