Labor Day 2035: Why Workers Will Become More Valuable Than Ever

from The Josh Bersin Company · host Josh Bersin

The BLS forecasts an almost flat growth in the labor market in the next decade yet US GDP is expected to grow by 22-24% cumulatively. In order for this to work we are all going to be focused on “labor productivity.” In this podcast I explain this new world of Superworkers and discuss why the word “labor” itself may be out of date. I also discuss why HR issues like org design, work design, dynamic enablement, talent density, pay equity, dynamic planning, and AI really change the dynamics of our businesses. And HR is now a growth professsion, growing faster than the GDP and increasing in economic value. Additional Information Our new book Superpowered, launching in October US Workforce In 2035: A Few More Workers, A Lot More Output Galileo will teach you how to drive productivity Chapters (00:00:00) - Labor Market: The super worker (00:04:17) - Employee mobility and job and org redesign (00:06:44) - Beyond HR: The Role of AI in Business
