BOSTON — The biopharmaceutical sector in Massachusetts is growing so fast that companies are struggling to fill vacancies, particularly entry-level jobs that require an associate’s degree and those on the other end of the spectrum that require Ph.D.s, according to a new study.
Nearly 12,000 new jobs are expected to be created between mid-2017 and mid-2023, an increase of more than 17 percent, said the report by the nonprofit Massachusetts Biotechnology Education Foundation. That’s less than the 20.5 percent for the prior six years, but still robust.
