LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 3, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Jobs are changing. Workforce growth is slowing. The population is aging. Educational attainment levels are lagging with skill gaps rising. Even the generations are clashing. Any one of these developments could trigger a significant problem for employers. But when combined, these workforce trends are creating The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0, a concatenation of unprecedented demographic and economic events that will force employers to change the way they do business.
In The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0, author Ira S. Wolfe creates a vivid and dramatic image of what future workforces will look like through an intriguing use of trends, facts and statistics. Wolfe then offers recommendations for recruiting a younger workforce, managing inter-generational conflicts, and retaining workers. This completely revised and updated second edition is a quick, concise read designed for the busy executive.
As many readers have suggested, The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0 will serve well as a mainstay on every desk, a constant reminder and reference to the stormy, rough workforce trends ahead. Beverly Kaye, Author/CEO of Career Systems International was "just blown away" after reading The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0. Stuart Murphy of Round Table Consulting describes Wolfe's new book as "a fantastic body of work," and writes, "After reading The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0, I was thinking how important it would be for each of the Presidential candidates as well as all our elected officials to read this book." The Perfect Labor Storm 2.0, which retails at $ 19.99 (Paperback), is already available at the publisher's online bookstore, www.Xlibris.com.
