We are experiencing a generational work shortage due to the retirement of the Baby Boom generation. There are not enough workers in succeeding generations to replace the workers in that generation who are retiring.
The pandemic and the changes in the workplace which have resulted from the pandemic have exacerbated and accelerated this change as workers who are nearing retirement age are deciding to retire earlier than they had planned. Trends like the “big quit” are causing younger workers to question whether it is worth the aggravation to stay on the job until time when they had planned to retire.
