The U.S. labor force is undergoing transformational shifts driven by an aging population and other demographic changes, the effects of artificial intelligence, and evolving skill demands in key industries. At this time of great change, prudent policy measures will drive successful responses to these emerging challenges and ensure the workforce is equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving economy. Business leaders play a critical role in redefining workforce strategies and investing in talent development, while policymakers should aim to foster more resilient and inclusive labor markets using workers at all skill levels and ages.
