The supply of appropriately
skilled workers to fill positions throughout a company
is critically important to any firm contemplating an expansion
or relocation. Schertz has advantages when it comes to
its workforce, with 47 percent of Schertz’s population between the ages of 25 and 54. Schertz’s
35,000 residents are also highly educated, with nearly
30% of the workforce population having earned a bachelor’s
degree or higher, and two-thirds having completed
some college. Nearly 40 percent of the city’s adult
population works in management, professional and other
related occupations. In addition, various universities
and world class research centers are within 30 miles of
the city. This labor pool and regional assets, coupled
with San Antonio’s 800,000 area workers,
offers businesses the skills, education, and long-term
employees they need to compete in today’s global
markets.
Depending on your industry, Schertz’s economic development
department can provide you with wage and labor availability
data for the region. If your company is considering expansion
or relocation, the Schertz Economic Development Corporation
can work with the area workforce board to help you enhance
or tap into the available skilled workforce. |
