Perfect Labor Storm Author Releases Video Series

Where have all the workers gone?  Jobs are changing. Workforce is slowing. Educational attainment levels are lagging. Skill gaps are rising.  The Perfect Labor Storm is imminent. A shortage of skilled workers is putting the brakes on projects, delaying expansions, and applying upward pressure on wages and benefits. 

In anticipation of his new book Perfect Labor Storm 2.0: Workforce Trends That Will Change the Way You Do Business, available for sale in September 2007, author/consultant Ira S. Wolfe announced the release of his “Where Have All the Workers Gone?” video series.  Each video, running for 7 minutes or less, highlights different workforce factors and trends which are driving changes that will change the way all employers do business.  The first video creates a compelling image: aging populations and skilled worker shortages colliding in the marketplace.  The second video focuses on skills gaps resulting from critical worker educational deficiencies and embarrassingly low literacy rates among U.S. workers.

Future videos scheduled for release in late summer and fall 2007 include trends about the four working generations, women in the workforce, healthcare costs in an active, aging workforce, the heavy weight of obesity on productivity, and more.
