The only report with data-backed opportunities for navigating our current labor crisis
Our 2021 report The Demographic Drought took the world by storm. Featured in nearly every major publication (i.e. Forbes, New York Times, Wall Street Journal), we explored the people shortage that would change our world forever. One year later, we’re diving into the current state of the U.S. labor force, making predictions for 2022, and suggesting two opportunities for increasing the labor force participation rate.

Despite a growing population, labor force participation is down
Our labor force remains below pre-Covid levels, and, as yet, shows a slow willingness to return. We are missing just over 3.2 million workers from the labor force.
