IBIE PERSPECTIVE
RENEWED FOCUS
ON TIGHT LABOR MARKET
Bakers should be mindful of pathways toward
narrowing the productivity deficit.
by Josh Sosland, Milling & Baking News
WELL BEFORE THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
pandemic and the " Great Resignation, " bakers
were focused on addressing chronic labor difficulties.
At least back to 2009, surveys conducted
by Cypress Research on behalf of Baking & Snack
magazine showed labor issues ranked atop baking
industry challenges.
In 2018, leading up to the most recent
International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE),
the issue remained front and center for bakers,
particularly with unemployment rates at the lowest
levels in decades.
" The competition in manufacturing - frankly,
everywhere now - for skilled associates and
employees is higher than it's ever been, " Robb
MacKie, president and chief executive officer of the
American Bakers Association (ABA), said at the time.
Two years earlier, the ABA and the American
Society of Baking commissioned a report, " The
Workforce Gap in US Commercial Baking: Trends,
Challenges and Solutions, " conducted by Cypress,
10 | INSIDE IBIE
to investigate the widening workforce gap. The
findings showed 40% of baker respondents in
the study said there was a shortage of machine
operators, and 59% cited a shortage of salaried
engineering/maintenance employees.
By at least one important measure, the baking
industry has been chipping away at the problem.
Commercial bakeries showed wider productivity
gains than many segments of the manufacturing
sector between 2018 and 2020, according to data
from the Annual Survey of Manufactures, from the
US Bureau of the Census. In the two years ended
2020, the commercial bakeries sector saw a 12%
increase in sales (value of shipments, or revenue)
per production worker vs. a 4.5% gain for food
manufacturing overall and a 9% decrease for total
industrial manufacturing. The 12% improvement
was better than a 7% gain generated by the meat
processed from carcass sector but lagged a 15%
improvement for cookie/cracker manufacturers.
It should be noted that 2020 figures could
