When my tradesman business went down with the recession, I was one of the few that I can speak of that moved on. I still know guys that haven't bounced back, or have reluctantly taken lesser jobs on crews, because they won't move from where they live. As far as machining goes, it does take some skills, as well as a personality and mindset to follow a project through, overcome obstacles, with great attention to detail. Not everyone can do it well, but the basic intelligence and education required really isn't that much.
As far as long term outlook? Do you see any decline in demand for orthopedic devices in the near future?
As the article pointed out, the companies are having trouble filling jobs, in part, because baby boomers are retiring. Which also means baby boomers are at the age where they are more likely to need orthopedic implants. Baby boomers are starting to reach their 70s so I would expect the demand for orthopedic implants will hit its peak within the next decade and then demand will die off. Pun intended.
