Tight Labor Market: Even Worse Based On New Census Projections February 22, 2020
The working age population will grow at the slowest pace since the Civil War in the decade of 2020-2030, I wrote two years ago. The outlook is even worse now, because foreign immigration is much lower than projected, meaning that even fewer working age people will be in the United States.
