The railroad industry needs to hire more than 13,000 workers annually over the next six years, according to the Association of American Railroads. The AAR said the 80,000 jobs expected to be available carry annual salaries that currently range from $48,853 for car and locomotive maintainers to $67,128 for conductors and $75,000 for locomotive engineers. The six-year projection comes from the Railroad Retirement Board, which expects a total of 140,000 new hires over the next ten years.

The surge in hiring is due to a combination of circumstances, said the AAR: sharply increased business for railroads in a growing economy and a shortage of workers due to a rising number of retirements following enactment of a law in 2000 that cut the full-benefits retirement age by two years. This means that nearly 40% of the industry’s current work force of 221,000 will be eligible to retire within the next decade.
