New aviation mechanics graduate with jobs in hand, thanks to a labor shortage

, 

A job forecast from Boeing says the aviation industry will need to hire 123,000 maintenance technicians in North America through 2044. Here, workers lower jacks holding up a Boeing 767-300 airplane at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, N.J., in 2024.

Aviation is literally soaring in the U.S., with record passenger numbers. But with a generation of mechanics set to leave the workforce, the industry needs new graduates to fill the gap.
