  • Abstract:
    Economic development professionals cite access to a highly skilled workforce as being one of, if not the most, important factors that businesses cite when choosing where to locate. This is because the United States, including Texas, is experiencing high demand in fields that require highly skilled workers. In addition, with recent and continual advancements in technology, there is a gap between educational preparation and job readiness. This skills gap in the workforce has resulted in greater competition among employers to land highly skilled and highly sought after employees. In order to compete for these employees, some employers are focusing on recruitment strategies that create attractive work environments to highly skilled workers. This report identifies the transportation preferences and needs of highly skilled workers that currently work in Texas, as well as those being actively recruited to join companies in Texas. In order to identify the transportation preferences of highly skilled workers, researchers interviewed a range of human resource and recruitment professionals in fields that rely on this segment of the workforce. Those industries include: Advanced technologies and manufacturing. Aerospace and defense. Biotechnology and life sciences. Information and computer technology. Energy (traditional and renewables). Researchers asked interviewees a wide range of questions regarding transportation, including the following: Whether prospects for highly skilled positions asked about congestion, parking, or the availability of different modes. If and how transportation impacts the quality of life or housing decisions of highly skilled recruits. How Texas is perceived as both competitive and non-competitive with respect to the recruitment of highly skilled workers.
