While 2019 was all about a tight labor market and identifying current and future shortages, 2020 brought a new challenge for our economics team: identifying where the job losses were. The pandemic was an economic game-changer in many ways, and we reacted constantly, updating our projections on the US and global economy. We also strengthened our signature CEO Confidence survey, which now features the views of not just CEOs but leading C-suite executives as well.
