Webinar Overview
The Great Resignation is a hot topic but it's hiding the real labor problem facing the manufacturing and distribution industries. These industries are feeling a hit with the labor shortage as 2.6 million Baby Boomers working in the manufacturing industry will retire in the next decade. That means 2.4 million jobs may remain unfilled in 2028.
