NATIONAL WORKFORCE TRENDS
The biennial national workforce trends report – the only of its kind – is acclaimed for its “real-time” data analysis derived from executive interviews, hiring surveys, and job postings from across the country and Puerto Rico.
Produced since 2013 – and since 2023, with TEConomy Partners, LLC and InnovATEBIO, the NSF-supported National Biotech Education Center - the report has captured the most pressing talent needs of the life sciences industry through periods of accelerated growth & retraction, competition for talent, disruptive technologies, reshored manufacturing, COVID and post-COVID dynamics, and more. Helping to shape the national discourse on workforce solutions for the life sciences industry, the report is broadly distributed through LSWC industry, academic and governmental networks, and has been featured in BioSpace, Nature, and other workforce-related forums.

2025 Life Sciences Workforce Trends Report
The 2025 National Life Sciences Workforce Trends Report, developed by LSWC in partnership with TEConomy Partners, offers a data-driven snapshot of workforce challenges and opportunities in a time of tempered industry growth and rapid technological change. Drawing from over 500 company survey responses, 200 executive interviews, and 2.9 million job postings, the report reveals four key themes: strategic hiring amid slower growth, widespread integration of AI and automation, increased investment in upskilling incumbent workers, and a surge in early STEM engagement. These insights serve as a critical guide for industry, education, and policy leaders shaping the future of the bioeconomy.
