2024 Election Implications for the US Labor Market

Find out how different policy shifts could impact the workforce and the demand for talent.

November 20, 2024 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM Europe/Brussels (CET)

 The 2024 US election presented divergent economic agendas, with stark implications for the country’s labor market.

The results will determine the posture of US trade, on top of continued supply-chain recalibration and near-shoring trends. Also at stake are drastic changes to the US immigration system and the decision to either expand or pullback on federal investments in green energy, manufacturing, and advanced technologies.

In this Labor Markets Watch, we assess how these policy shifts could impact the US workforce and shift the demand for talent. We highlight the labor market ramifications of recent trade and industrial policy dynamics between the US and partner countries. We also discuss challenges for the US in accelerating its targeted sectors forward, including an aging workforce and regional talent shortages across skilled trades, manufacturing, and innovation-focused roles.

During this session you will:

  • Assess the ramifications of the 2024 policy platforms for the US labor market outlook
  • Understand the roles of labor shortages, demographics, and immigration in impacting US labor market dynamics
  • Learn about recent developments in trade and investment initiatives between the US and regional partners, and how they are shaping investment and workforce demand
  • Learn how workforce challenges could delay progress in critical sectors like green energy and advanced manufacturing
