- The Workforce Crisis -

Labor Shortages. Operational Gaps. Economic Risk.

The U.S. and global workforce are undergoing a seismic shift. More than 10,000 baby boomers retire each day (Pew Research Center), and by 2030, over 85 million jobs globally could remain unfilled—costing up to $8.5 trillion in unrealized annual revenue (Korn Ferry). Traditional hiring models simply can’t keep up.

The Data Is Clear

01

2.1 million U.S. manufacturing jobs may go unfilled by 2030 due to skill gaps (Deloitte).

02

The healthcare industry faces a shortage of 3.2 million workers by 2026, with pressure mounting in diagnostics, elder care, and outpatient care.

03

Logistics & warehousing suffer from a 43% labor turnover rate, driving delays, backlogs, and rising operating costs (BLS).

04

Hospitality and food services report persistent understaffing— 10%+ workforce shortages across many U.S. states (National Restaurant Association).

05

The public sector is aging fast: 45% of municipal workers will be retirement-eligible in 5 years, with few replacements in the pipeline.

The Bottom Line

Businesses are struggling to find qualified talent.

Costs are rising due to overtime, temp agencies, and productivity loss.

Customer experience, safety, and compliance are all suffering.

Workforce fatigue and turnover are crippling long-term sustainability.

Without automation, critical services will continue to endure delays, human error, and reduced performance.
