“We are now experiencing two, once-in-a-century trends happening at the same time—the labor shortage is one and the shift to remote work is the other.”

Gad Levanon, Chief Economist at the Burning Glass Institute, has won awards for accurately forecasting U.S. economic trends. What’s his take on the shift to remote work? It’s dramatically changing the labor and economic playing field.

In this episode of Geeks, Geezers, Googlization, Gad joins hosts Ira Wolfe and Jason Cochran to break down the numbers behind the labor shortage and discuss ways businesses are adapting to keep filling job openings.
