Workforce Development Partnership Serves Both Employers and Employees
Feldman, Cheryl (2011-10)
The health-care industry is the largest employer in Pennsylvania, and as a result, this industry has a huge impact on the state?s economy. As baby boomers age and their health-care needs increase, however, the state is facing a health-care workforce shortage that is magnified by high turnover rates, an inadequate pool of qualified employees, and a lack of qualified instructors.

Men’s Falling Labor Force Participation across Generations
Bengali, Leila; Duzhak, Evgeniya A.; Zhao, Cindy (2023-10-10)
The labor force participation rate for prime-age men has been declining for decades. About 14% of millennial males at age 25 are not in the labor force, compared with 7% of baby boomer males when they were that age. This generational gap declines substantially as groups approach middle age; the decline reflects that younger millennials enrolled in postsecondary education at higher rates and moved into the workforce later than prior generations. The convergence for millennial males suggests that the trend of men’s higher nonparticipation rates may slow in the future.
