The Alliance for America's Skilled Trades released "The State of America's Skilled Trades: A National Report" on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, according to CNBC. The report covers 124 skilled trades occupations in all 50 states. The Alliance is a coalition founded in July 2026 by Ford, Carhartt, BlackRock and Google. CNBC names Jobs for the Future and the Burning Glass Institute as the research leads. What the report projects, as reported by CNBC and DBusiness: - About 1.7 million skilled trades openings each year through 2035. CNBC says more than 600,000 of those over the period are net new jobs, and the rest come from replacing workers who leave. - Training programs produce 55 workers for every 100 needed (DBusiness). - 86 of the 124 occupations are expected to add jobs or hold steady through 2035 (DBusiness). - Nine states have demand that outpaces supply: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas (DBusiness). The report's site also says nine states face both high demand and low supply. - Nearly a quarter of workers in the 124 occupations are 55 or older, and workers under 25 are 11% of the workforce. Burning Glass Institute president Matt Sigelman told CNBC that one in 12 trade jobs needs to be replaced in the next five years. On training, DBusiness reports the Alliance says people are enrolling in training programs but only half finish, and that high-quality apprenticeship programs have completion rates above 90 percent. The Alliance names transportation, childcare and the need for a paycheck as the main barriers to finishing. The Alliance also launched America's Skilled Trades Dashboard at skilledtradesreport.com, which it says covers occupation and state detail. The dashboard page lists its data sources as BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics and Employment Projections, state long-term projections, Census ACS and CPS, Department of Labor apprenticeship records, IPEDS and College Scorecard, Perkins V state reports, BEA, and Burning Glass Institute career histories and job postings data. What this does not tell you: these are projections from an industry coalition and its research partners, not a government forecast, and we did not open the full report or its methodology page. The figures above come from the dashboard landing page, CNBC (October 2, 2026) and DBusiness (October 6, 2026). Treat the occupation and state numbers as the report's claims until you check the full report.
