U.S. employers will confront a shortage of some 6 million workers within a decade, Bloomberg reports.
A combination of retirements, mismatches between workers and available jobs, and a decline in workforce participation among men is set to drive the gap, according to by Lightcast, a provider of labor market data. Based on expected growth in the population, it projects a 6 million shortfall of workers by 2032 compared with the current level.

This also makes a strong case for rehauling our immigration laws in order to facilitate immigration and help us fill the jobs.
