The current decade has the lowest growth of the working-age population since the Civil War! We’ll get a little more growth after 2030, but nothing like we enjoyed from 1970 through 2010. Businesses will continue to face difficulty hiring and retaining good workers.
In a series of articles originally published on Forbes.com, world-renowned economist Bill Conerly explains:
- Why the tight labor market will continue for years
- How to help your employees be more productive (and not by scolding or overworking them)
- How to retain your most valuable employees—without above-market wages or gold-plated benefits
- How to hire high-productivity people who will stay on the job for years
