Aerotek Survey Reveals Evolving Job Seeker Concerns Regarding Economy and Skills Development
Over 70% of respondents expect employer-provided skill development opportunities HANOVER, Md., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerotek, a leading provider of workplace solutions in manufacturing, logistics, construction, aviation, facilities and maintenance, announced today the release of its Job Seeker Survey: Q2 2025. The survey offers new insights into how the economy is impacting job seekers' searches, motivations and desired skill development. Aerotek surveyed more than 2,600 recent job applicants to better understand job seekers' sentiments in today's labor market. The Job Seeker Survey: Q1 2025 marked the start of Aerotek's 2025 report series, with respondents initially expressing optimism about their job searches and long-term career prospects. The latest findings, however, show a notable decline in positive sentiment. Thirty-four percent of job seekers now believe their chances of finding a quality job are worse than they were a year ago — a 14-point increase from Q1, signaling growing uncertainty in the job market. Economic Barriers Limit Job Seekers' Progress Companies are slowing down their hiring processes and retaining existing employees longer, contributing to a significant drop in worker optimism about finding quality work. According to the survey, 55% of job seekers feel the economy is the biggest barrier to achieving their career goals. Additionally, 16% identify 'gaps in employment history' as their most significant job search barrier, marking a 10-point increase since Aerotek's Q1 2025 survey — the highest level recorded in the quarterly series. Job Searches Growing Longer and More Competitive Survey results indicate that job searches are lasting longer, with 34% of respondents saying they have spent at least six months looking for work. This aligns with broader trends showing a slowdown in hiring activity in 2025. Additionally, more than 25% of job seekers expect to submit 50 or more applications before securing a position. This marks a slight increase from the previous survey and suggests job searches are requiring more time and effort. Skill Development Expectations Are Shaping Job Choices Job seekers increasingly expect continuous learning and skill-building opportunities from their employers. In fact, 73% of respondents expect employers to provide opportunities to acquire new skills, and more than 25% have left a job due to insufficient skill development. For companies seeking to improve their retention rate, providing skill development opportunities is essential. This is particularly important for those in industries challenged by the skilled labor shortage as a significant portion of skilled trades professionals retire from the workforce. Leadership and Technical Skills Are Top Priorities for Job Growth When asked about the skills they most want to develop, job seekers identified leadership as the top soft skill, with 29% aiming to improve in this area. On the hard skills side, nearly half (48%) expressed a strong interest in enhancing their technical proficiency related to their specific field, such as machinery operation, welding or electrical work. 'Our latest survey data shows that despite economic uncertainty and longer job searches making the labor market more challenging, job seekers remain focused on developing new skills to improve their prospects,' said Bill Ruff, vice president, strategic sales at Aerotek. 'Employers who invest in training and development will be best positioned to attract and retain top talent in this evolving landscape. Ongoing training also plays a key role in closing skill gaps and preparing for workforce changes, including the retirement of experienced workers.'

Continental's Split Shows How Germany's Business Model Is Shifting
Continental AG intends to become the latest German manufacturing stalwart to dismantle itself, highlighting the pressure to become more agile to weather structural issues at home and respond to mounting competition abroad. Tracing its roots to producing rubber hoof buffers for horses in the late 19th century, the Hanover-based company plans to split into three: the core tire business, rubber components and auto parts. The moves, which Continental will pitch to investors on Tuesday, would unwind decades of diversification and reflect Germany's shifting business model.

Two Carroll County men charged with string of car theft attempts around Penn Township
Two Carroll County men are facing charges related to a string of attempted vehicle robberies targeting Kia and Hyundai vehicles around Hanover and Westminster, according to police. Marc Rivera, 22, and Connor Pope, 19, both of Westminster, Maryland, face felony charges related to attempted vehicle thefts around the Hanover area, according to charges filed by the Penn Township Police Department on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. Pope faces four felony counts of attempted theft by unlawful taking, charging documents stated. Rivera is charged with one felony count of attempted theft by unlawful taking, according to the documents in his case. Both Pope and Rivera have not yet been arraigned on the charges, and do not have a preliminary hearing scheduled as of Friday, June 20, 2025. According to charging documents filed against the pair, police began their investigation on May 28, 2025, after they were called around 7:34 p.m. for the attempted theft of a parked 2017 Kia Forte on the 900 block of Baltimore Street. At that scene, police found that the vehicle's window had been shattered, the steering column shroud was removed, and the ignition cylinder had been tampered with, the documents state. The vehicle sustained $5,407 of damage, and was disabled, the documents note. Surveillance footage, which was acquired by police from a nearby building, showed a second Kia Forte arrive in the parking lot, with a male suspect getting out of the passenger side of the suspect vehicle, then breaking the window on the parked vehicle and climbing inside. Several minutes later, that male is seen climbing back out and returning to the suspect vehicle, which then drives away, according to the affidavit. While investigating, police learned of a Be-On-Look-Out (BOLO) request put out by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office that day for a white Kia Forte that had been stolen near the scene of a rollover crash that day on Bachman Valley Road in Carroll County. The next day, on May 29, Penn Township police were called around 10:49 a.m. to Pinewood Circle for another attempted vehicle theft, the documents state. In that incident, police found a 2013 Kia Optima, which had reportedly been left unlocked, and also had a missing steering column shroud and its ignition lock cylinder tampered with. That vehicle, according to police, suffered $1,000 in damages. Several days later, around 6:50 a.m. on June 5, police were called to Hall Drive in the township for a third attempted vehicle theft, involving a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. That vehicle, which was locked, sustained a shattered window, and, like the others, a removed steering column shroud and damaged ignition lock cylinder. The damages in the third vehicle's case totaled around $2,534 according to the documents. A fourth attempted theft was later reported on Violet Drive in Penn Township on June 12, which resulted in a reportedly unlocked 2022 Hyundai Kona being disabled after experiencing similar damages to prior cases. Investigative efforts led police to identify Pope as a possible suspect in the attempted thefts, according to the documents, with Pope dating a juvenile who lived in the area of the thefts. After spotting Pope on Baltimore Street, Pope allegedly led police on a foot pursuit, and was taken into custody. During an interview with investigators from Penn Township, Westminster, and Carroll County, Pope allegedly admitted to officers that he had stolen vehicle in Westminster, which he then rolled on Bachman Valley Road on May 28. Then, Pope allegedly said, he stole a Kia Forte from the scene of the rollover crash, which he then had Rivera drive to the scene of the first attempt in Hanover, the documents state. Pope told investigators that Rivera was allegedly aware that the vehicle he was driving had been stolen, according to the charging documents. After the failed attempt on Baltimore Street, Rivera drove Pope to his girlfriend's house, and Rivera allegedly took the stolen vehicle back into Maryland. In the documents, police provide a description of how Pope allegedly explained his methods for stealing vehicles, with Pope telling officers he primarily targets Kia and Hyundai vehicles. Related: Hyundai and Kia anti-theft updates lead to record decline in car thefts According to the affidavit, Pope told investigators that stolen vehicles can typically be sold for between $100 and $1,000 in Baltimore, Maryland. Both men have pending charges in Carroll County for the alleged thefts that took place in Maryland, the documents state.
