The Speed of Skill Change
Every job is changing. It's clear that the labor market today is much different than the labor market of three years ago—and now, skills give us a lens to see exactly how much. Change in the labor market is often gauged through job transitions, and jobs created and lost. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
The Rising Storm
The population is aging and fewer and fewer people are entering the workforce. This perfect storm of demographic and workforce trends will lead to unprecedented disruption in the labor market. What are the forces shaping this storm, and how can you prepare?
