Meet the US workforce of the future: Older, more diverse, and more educated

Are you a US-based organization searching for tomorrow’s workers? Look around your workplace. The oldest Millennials are just 37 and will likely keep working for several decades.1 The demographic changes that determine many of the key characteristics of the workforce happen slowly. But they happen. Over time, those demographic shifts can compound to make a big difference. It’s a difference we can already see. The main long-term changes in the workforce are, in fact, not new; employers have been adjusting to them for decades. Yet they can have real implications for how organizations approach everything, from workforce planning to diversity initiatives.
