How to Download Workforce 2020: Work and Workers in the 21st Century PDF
Workforce 2020 is the sequel to Workforce 2000, a book on the American workforce which has been enormously popular and influential since its release in the late 1980s. Since its release, personal computers and digital technology have remade the workplace, the diversity industry was spawned, new data and new jobs became available, and the need for region-specific information became obvious. Workforce 2020 answers such questions as, "How will companies need to adapt to an aging workforce? How will growing trends such as telecommuting, temporary staffing, and employee leasing affect the workplace? Which industries and jobs will be most affected by technological advancement? How prepared are the new entrants to the workforce for the jobs of the twenty-first century? This sequel also counters serious misunderstandings about the future of our economy. Popular myths about the disappearance of manufacturing jobs, jobs lost to technology, decreasing wages, the shrinking middle class, negative impact of global trade, etc., are generating wrong-headed and counter productive solutions. Workforce 2020 argues for solutions that can create the most competitive workforce and economy in the world.
