Since employers are struggling to find skilled labor, the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce this year published a study focusing on workforce growth barriers, especially those related to geography, skills, and work-life balance.
From 2010 to 2020, the population of Central Massachusetts grew 8.1%, outpacing both the state and national averages, while closing in on nearly 1.3 million people throughout Worcester County and the MetroWest region. While all that change has caused some headaches, like a lack of affordable housing, it has created plenty of opportunities.
People are on the move at the Family Health Center of Worcester, AdCare Hospital in Worcester, the Worcester law firm Bowditch & Dewey, the Estate Preservation Law Offices, MutualOne Bank in Framingham, Framingham State University, and UMass Memorial Health in Worcester.
Life sciences has been the hot industry in Central Massachusetts over the last few years, as the region looks to leverage its proximity to the global Cambridge-Boston innovation hub and cement biomanufacturing and biotech as cornerstone industries of the area economy. Major prospective development projects are underway in Worcester, Devens, and Marlborough, as many Central Massachusetts communities hope to capture an industry expansion. Yet, after significant growth in the early 2020s, the life sciences industry has been in a down cycle over the last couple of years, with Greater Boston companies laying off workers and an overbuilt lab market further slowing any new developments. Data released by the Cambridge-based Massachusetts Biotechnology Council in late August shows Worcester County was the sole Massachusetts region to gain biomanufacturing jobs between 2022 and 2023. Worcester County added 279 new jobs, accounting for a 11.8% jump in growth. In contrast, Norfolk, Essex, Middlesex, and Suffolk counties saw a combined loss of 556 jobs. These industry jobs numbers come as leaders await the outcome of the Massachusetts House-passed $1-billion life sciences reauthorization initiative as it stalls in the Senate.
