phade Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 There's enough salt in this thread in case salt prices go up. LOL. In all seriousness because labor economics drive some of the business units I lead, I am fortunate to have some insights relative to drivers First, the group that did decide to change work habits more than any other were the tail end of Gen X / Start of Millennials - the 35-45 age group with analog childhoods and digital adulthoods. They often brought forward the prior generation mindset to employment with fewer job changes and employer loyalty (I fall into this bracket). The pandemic really drove a percent of them to rethink priorities and take scaled back roles or different career paths with reduced cost of work when working from home, as well as a shift more toward work-life balance. Younger generations are more apt to have less employer loyalty, value WFH, and experiences more than prior groups. They as a result bounce around to employers frequently to raise their wages and find purpose driven leadership and values alignment. That said, they're not not working, it's just a higher cost of employment to employers, which trickles down. The economic reopening created backlogs and voracious appetites that can't be handled with the current workforce. Having a low 5% UER in this type of environment is almost unimaginable. Matched with more open jobs than ever in the history of the US, and it's a special recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
