Key takeaways & next steps:

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) promises significant changes to the economy, with potential benefits and challenges. Retraining is vital to harness AI’s potential.
  • The low labor participation rate in the U.S. impacts nearly 38% of eligible workers. Addressing this issue requires a focus on enhancing workforce skills through education and training initiatives.
  • Invest in vocational training and development programs to prepare the workforce for AI-driven changes. Collaborate with community colleges to offer relevant training.
  • Monitor inflation closely, particularly wage-related inflation. Keep a watchful eye on labor negotiations in key industries, as outcomes may necessitate adjustments in monetary policies for economic stability.
