CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A shrinking workforce is causing concern for many, but experts believe the solution could be women.
Now, women have more job prospects than ever before and pay gaps are shrinking, according to a report from Axios.
It's a great sign for everyone. Let's connect the dots.
As older generations begin to retire and leave the workforce, labor gaps are being exploited.
For the past 25 years, there has been what Goldman Sachs referred to as a a "quiet revolution" among working women. In the U.S., a near-record number of women between 25 and 54 are currently employed.
Experts say that trend needs to continue in order to keep the economy healthy.
It’s important because the only way for countries like the U.S. to pay off debt is to be extremely productive. If generations of workers retire and there aren’t enough people to replace them, it could mean disaster.
