The U.S. needs to add 4.6 million workers every year through 2033 to maintain a sufficient labor force, according to a new report from the Committee for Economic Development (CED) at the Conference Board. With workforce growth slowing and the population aging, labor shortages are expected to deepen. The report urges a three-pronged approach: increasing labor force participation, reforming immigration policies to attract global talent, and ensuring worker skills meet future economic demands. The solution, according to CED, lies in bold policy changes and strong cooperation between government and industry.
