The Demographic Drought Series
A dynamic set of Lightcast reports, from 2021-today about the US labor shortage
The only reports with data-backed opportunities for navigating our current labor crisis
In 2021, The Demographic Drought took the world by storm. Our research on the people shortage that would change the world forever was featured in national outlets including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Forbes. Bridging The Gap, our follow-up research published a year later, went further with short-term predictions and suggested two opportunities for increasing labor force participation. Now, we’re back again with The Rising Storm: Building a Future-Ready Workforce to Withstand the Looming Labor Shortage, with more detail and a clearer focus on the years to come.
