Great time to be in supply chain management. Deloitte expects U.S. manufacturers to have 2.1M unfilled jobs by 2030, & the BLS is projecting that SCM employment will grow by 7% annually through 2026. 

The number of US job postings for supply chain managers on LinkedIn more than doubled between 2019 & 2022 (per The Financial Times).  The U.S. supply chain accounts for 37% of all domestic jobs (per Harvard Business Review).

Supply chain pros are making an avg of nearly $30K more/yr than the avg American, & are generally happy in their careers (per ASCM)...WMU SCM grads have a median wage range of $65-$75K.
