Lightcast Study Finds US Heading For 6 Million Worker Shortfall By 2032
Five million Americans left the labor force since 2020, four in five of them over fifty five, driving a demographic drought.
- Healthcare shortfalls are called "massive" as an aging population needs more care.
- Two thirds of incoming workers will hold degrees, leaving just 90,000 without one yearly.
- Food, hospitality and construction alone already list 850,000 unfilled openings.
Why it matters: Every report on the 2032 labor shortage is really a report on the birth rate of the 2000s.
