BY MY CALCULATIONS THE BABY BOOMERS (THE LARGEST GENERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY), ARE ALL ABOUT TO RETIRE. THEY WILL BE REPLACED BY GENERATION X ( THE SMALLEST GENERATION PER CAPITA IN AMERICAN HISTORY, ALSO MINE).
DO THE MATH. DOES THIS NOT LEAD TO A LABOR SHORTAGE? ANY COMPANY RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY WOULD LOSE EXPERTISE, AND LABOR. SO GOING INTO THE FUTURE YOU WILL NEED ME BEFORE I NEED YOU. YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMEMBER THAT AS BOOMERS BEGIN TO RETIRE. HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE NOW MIGHT EFECT YOUR BOTTOM LINE LATER.
