Manpower: A declining base of experienced workers

Once again, the topic of a declining workforce of experienced engineers and GIS professionals came up in discussion at the Autodesk University conference. The topic came up previously in our coverage at the GEOINT conference earlier this month.

During the press briefing with Chris Bradshaw, VP of Autodesk’s Infrastructure group, he mentioned that with a baby boomer generation heading toward retirement and with American universities graduating fewer engineers a crisis looms on the horizon. Bradshaw mentioned that this was not the case in India and China where a baby boomer generation is non-existant and that some jobs may be outsourced to these countries.
