This document discusses how demographic trends and workforce shortages in the US are connected to immigration. It notes that the US population is aging and fertility rates are below replacement levels, so future workforce growth will rely on immigration. Several industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and restaurants already face labor shortages. It also discusses border security challenges and how an overly restrictive approach can negatively impact the economy through delays and reduced travel and trade. Overall it argues for an immigration system that balances security with facilitation of legal movement to meet labor demands.
The document discusses the importance of investing in the federal workforce, called "The People Factor". It notes that nearly half of federal employees will be eligible for retirement in the next 5 years. This poses a risk of losing crucial experience and expertise. Additionally, the federal hiring process is slow and the government spends little on training employees compared to private sector standards. Investing more in human capital management could help address these issues and yield significant productivity gains.
This document provides an overview of NPMA's Legislative Day event scheduled for March 15-17, 2015 in Washington D.C.

The document discusses how startup entrepreneurs think and operate. It notes that startups like Airbnb and Uber were started due to identifying shortages or problems. It emphasizes that startups focus on providing customer benefit, eliminating waste, and creating value. It also highlights that startups operate with speed, embracing failure fast and pivoting quickly, with transparency and by breaking rules. Startups succeed by moving rapidly, with minimal processes and instead prioritizing speed above all else.

Migration between Mexico and the United States is a complex issue with many causes and effects. Poverty and lack of opportunities in Mexico push many to migrate north, where there are more jobs and higher wages in the United States. However, illegal migration across the long border is a problem that costs both countries millions to address. While migrant workers benefit the US economy through their low-cost labor, they are also seen as drain and can cause social tensions. Remittances from migrants have become an important source of income for Mexico, but migration also creates imbalances like labor shortages and changes to family structure in Mexican towns.

I used this slide show during my presentation on the immigration issue at Ardsley High School in Westchester County, New York.

The document summarizes economic trends in Austin from 2003-2013 that contributed to its strong growth and prosperity. It notes that Austin experienced the second highest GDP growth and top job growth among large US metro areas during this period. However, it warns that success can breed complacency and that challenges remain around income stagnation, education inequality, and housing affordability. The document calls for big ideas to address these issues, such as setting goals for a majority of residents to obtain a postsecondary degree and using opportunities like the new medical school to promote broad-based wealth creation and inclusion.

Experts Say Foreign-Born Workers Ease Utah's Staffing Shortagebuhlerlawkim
Utah Business, a local news site, says that staffing can’t keep up with the booming industries in the state. In fact, The Standard-Examiner reports that Utah’s unemployment rate was 3.2 percent in November 2017, significantly lower than its long-term average of 4.94 percent.
The document discusses three major demographic trends that will impact the United States population over the coming decades: 1) An aging population, as the large Baby Boomer generation moves into retirement, will strain social security and health care systems; 2) Immigration and racial/ethnic diversity will continue to increase, altering the population mix; 3) Rapid urbanization will concentrate more of the population in cities and exacerbate social problems in those areas, increasing justice system costs. These trends will present significant economic and social challenges for American society.

An examination of current trends in unemployment with a look at future - what is likely to happen in the labor market. Examines how demographics and population changes will influence jobs, economic growth and economic development
This document discusses future global trends and scenarios based on input from over 50 CSIRO scientists. It identifies several key megatrends that will shape the future, including a more digital and interconnected world, increasing urbanization and mobility, divergent demographics like an aging population, and needing to do more with less resources. The document also discusses potential megashocks like pandemics or climate change and presents scenarios for how the identified megatrends could play out globally in the future.

The document discusses challenges and opportunities for attracting and retaining talent in Texas. It notes that Texas will face a tight labor market as the Baby Boomer generation retires and the working age population grows more slowly. Younger generations, especially Generation Y, value quality of place factors like the environment, recreation, and diversity. Adapting to their needs and improving education will help Texas compete for talent going forward.
KC Conway presented an economic outlook and conditions report to the Fort Bend Economic Development Council. The presentation discussed several topics, including: 1) 2020 Census data showing Texas had the largest population increase and third highest percentage growth; 2) a JOLTS report finding a record high of over 8 million job openings in March 2021; and 3) different types of economic shifts occurring, such as convergence of multifamily housing and divergence of retail trends as online shopping increases. The presentation provided an overview of economic trends in Texas and nationally.
Williamson County, Texas: Changing Demographics and Implications of GrowthCivic Analytics LLC
Williamson County is growing rapidly due to migration from other areas, especially Travis County. The population is becoming more diverse, with the Hispanic population projected to be over half of new residents in the next 20 years. This presents challenges around education and income inequality but also opportunities if inclusive economic development policies are pursued. Growth represents both challenges and opportunities for Williamson County to leverage as it takes on a more prominent role in the Austin region.
Global Trends & the Next 25 Years of Sustainable AgricultureLandcareAustralia
CSIRO Principal Scientist Dr Stefan Hajkowicz's presents at the 2014 National Landcare Conference, looking at global trends and its impact on the next 25 years of sustainable agriculture.
The document discusses several topics related to immigration in the United States, including:
1) Studies showing that most second and third generation immigrants become fluent English speakers, and that undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes each year including to Social Security.
2) Research indicating that immigrant communities do not increase crime rates, and that on average immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive in services.
3) Statistics on the number of legal permanent residents in the US from 2001-2010, with the largest numbers coming from Asia, North America, and South America.
There are few subjects that evoke as much emotion as immigration reform, especially since future laws could result in a path to citizenship for over 11 million illegal immigrants.
When analyzed from the vantage point of information derived from reputable, nonpartisan sources (the Pew Research Center, USDA, United States Department of Labor, and leading economists and researchers) then one can obtain a clearer view of this muddled discussion. The truth of the matter is that illegal immigrants are important to the U.S. economy, as well as vital to certain industries like agriculture.
