Highlights

There’s a storm coming. Are you ready? When worker shortages, a wage price spiral, and high turnover rocked the labor market in 2021 and 2022, they weren’t part of a one-time pandemic disruption. They were the first gusts of a coming storm that will hit U.S. employers within the next decade.

Join senior labor economist Ron Hetrick, lead author of Lightcast’s “The Rising Storm” report, for an in-depth overview of the current and near future state of the labor market as it relates to different staffing specialties—specifically light industrial and warehousing, technology, finance, professional, and health care.

What has led to the current setbacks in staffing, and what solutions may be on the horizon? Hetrick will answer these questions and many more.
