National and Local Workforce Perspectives: The 2025 TEConomy Report was presented by Ryan Helwig, principal and senior director at TEConomy Partners on November 12, 2025 at the 2025 Mayer Brown Utah Life Sciences Summit in Salt Lake City.
The 2025 National Life Sciences Workforce Trends Report, developed by TEConomy Partners and the Life Sciences Workforce Collaborative, of which BioUtah is a member, offers a data-driven snapshot of workforce challenges and opportunities across the industry. Drawing from over 500 company survey responses, 200 executive interviews, and 2.9 million job postings, the report reveals four key themes: strategic hiring amid slower growth, widespread integration of AI and automation, increased investment in up-skilling incumbent workers, and a surge in early STEM engagement. These insights serve as a critical guide for industry, education, and policy leaders shaping the future of the bioeconomy.
