Ever wondered why everyone’s talking about a looming workforce crisis? Well, we asked ourselves (and the experts) this same question! In our premiere episode, Dr. Nyesha Black from the University of Alabama provides eye-opening insights about what’s happening right here in Alabama, where deaths have outpaced births since 2020. Is this just a local issue, or a sign of things to come for the rest of the nation and even the world, as global birth rates continue to decline? We also tackle why fewer people are participating in the workforce, exploring the surprising role COVID-19 played in accelerating these demographic shifts. If you’re curious about the future of work and where we’ll find people to fill tomorrow’s jobs, tune in to hear Dr. Black break down critical trends.
