Karla Talanian dug into this topic in a recent MassBio post about how companies can continue to develop a workforce to meet the increasing industry demands. She noted that in Massachusetts, recruiting is more intense than the national averages: 18% of jobs require at least a Ph.D., compared with 12% nationally.
