Jan. 24, 2013: Emerson Climate Technologies Releases List of Top 10 States to Work in HVACR
ST. LOUIS — HVACR contractors looking for plentiful job opportunities, high salaries, available training and large numbers of service calls should head for California or Ohio, according to a list of top states to work in HVACR compiled by Emerson Climate Technologies.
One of the top challenges facing the HVACR industry is a shortage of qualified technicians. Emerson created its list after talking to contractors and HVACR students and instructors about what motivates young people to pursue careers in the industry. According to the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), an estimated additional 57,000 skilled workers are needed each year to work in the HVACR industry.
