The Demographic Drought
How a lack of people will change how we look at labor

• Ron Hetrick, Vice President, Staffing Strategy and Sr. Labor Economist at Emsi Burning Glass

The U.S. is suffering the beginning stages of a sansdemic: a lack of people to do all the work that needs to be done. Between 2011 and 2021, nearly every county in the US saw declines in its working-age population. The 2020 census shows that 16 states saw net population decline over the past years—the worst numbers since the Great Depression.
Employers and higher ed are already feeling the pain but the people shortage is only projected to get worse. So how did we get here? What are the economic ramifications? And is there anything we can do about it?

As lead author of The Demographic Drought, Hetrick answers these questions by analyzing past, present, and future workforces. From baby boomers to millennials to the 2020 Baby Bust, we track the rise and fall of America’s population and labor force participation rate. We also outline how employers and higher ed institutions can survive the sansdemic when it hits in force.

• Dariel Curren, Executive Vice President, Development Counsellors International
• Robyn Domber, Vice President, Research, Development Counsellors International

Since the onset of the pandemic, the U.S. has experienced a sort of economic whiplash–as has talent. Communities are left wondering how COVID-19 has changed the talent attraction landscape.

DCI’s fifth national talent research report, Talent Wars: How COVID-19 Reshaped the Battle, takes a deeper dive into the top factors talent considers when making a career or location change, where talent looks for information to inform their decisions, some of the most pressing topics unique to the era of COVID-19, and ultimately, the triggers behind relocation decisions. The research supports the importance of talent attraction marketing for your chamber and EDO.
