Forbes definition of Labor Supply
Labor supply measures college and high school attainment based on figures from the Census Bureau. We also consider net migration over the past five years and the projected population growth over the next five years. Another factor is the percentage of the workforce that is represented by a union. This year we included the percent of the population between the ages of 20 and 34. “Finding highly-educated millenials is top of mind for all of our clients,” says Jeff Lessard, who works with clients on their occupancy and location strategies at Cushman & Wakefield. “Finding that talent is incredibly important for companies.”
