Workplace Statistics

• Since 1950, the U.S. population has increased 50%. We now have 125

million more mouths to feed and people to service than we did in

1950.

• Between 2000 and 2030, the U.S. population will

grow another 26%. In part, this growth will come from new births and immigration.

But a significant portion will be a result of people living

longer…and longer.

• The United States is not alone. Nearly every developed country—

including England, Germany, Japan and Italy—simply won’t have

enough young people to take care of their exploding aging

populations.

• By 2015, we will have a 6% shortage of people in the

workforce to fill all of the new jobs.

SERVICES are activities done for others for a fee.

GLOBAL ECONOMY- unrestricted movement of goods and labor worldwide

JOB MARKET- demand for particular jobs.
