The air, land, and water transportation industry is a part of the much larger transportation and warehousing sector. Focusing entirely on the transportation of goods and passengers, including for sightseeing and scenic purposes, this industry requires a variety of occupations to run smoothly; airline pilots, engineers, bus drivers, sailors, and truck drivers all play vital roles.
Shipping services for goods and cargo will always be in high demand. Drawing top candidates for any single position requires a comprehensive benefits package. This generally includes access to medical, dental, and vision insurance, disability coverage, a life insurance plan, paid time off, and retirement saving opportunities.
There are about 165,000 air, land, and water transportation organizations nationwide, employing over 2.5 million professionals. On average, each business tends to be on the smaller side, with only 16 staff members. This is a male-dominated industry, with only 23% of employees identifying as female, and the median employee age is 45 years old.
50% of these employers offer short-term disability coverage, and 29% offer long-term disability insurance. The national average is 42% and 34%, respectively.
73% offer access to a life insurance plan. Comparatively, the national average is 56%.
As a whole, the air, land, and water transportation industry stands in-line with the national standard of offering comprehensive employee benefits packages. However, there is some room for improvement, such as providing more long-term disability and paid family leave options to their employees. As soon as these changes are made, employers will realize how important all-inclusive employee benefits are for attracting and retaining top talent for years to come.
