Critical sectors of the U.S. economy remain badly understaffed. Additionally, because of U.S. industrial policies creating positions in targeted industries and an aging workforce tied to specific career paths, worker shortages are set to become more dire in the medium term.
Please join the CSIS Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business from 9:00 - 10:00 am EST on February 26th for a Fireside Chat with Representatives Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), moderated by Philip Luck, Director of the Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business. The Congressmen will discuss worker shortages in critical sectors of the U.S. economy, identifying possible policy solutions such as immigration reform. In addition, CSIS Adjunct Fellow Jason Schenker, the author of a CSIS report on the subject, will present his findings on important trends in U.S. demographics and workforce needs. This event will be held at CSIS (1616 Rhode Island Ave NW, Washington, D.C. 20036) and will be livestreamed.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
