The trends identified will persist beyond the near-term fluctuations in the business cycle, and the companies that focus on them will ensure their workplace survives, even thrives, into the future. The goal of this report is to support employers as they navigate this watershed moment in history. The economists at both organizations explored the current state of the workplace and what it means for the labor market of tomorrow. The Indeed Hiring Lab - an international team of economists and researchers whose insights drive the global labor market conversation-along with Glassdoor Economic Research team, whose deep understanding draws from a rich database of millions of employee reviews, salaries, and conversations - worked together to create their first-ever joint Labor Market Trends Report. Together, using data-driven analysis, Indeed and Glassdoor economists share and examine five trends of the modern workplace that will reshape the labor market in the long-term.

While a bleak economic outlook, cost of living crisis, and political turmoil have been grabbing the headlines around the world, fundamental changes have continued to take place and the world of work isn’t going back to the way things were before.ĭemographic trends mean countries like the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan will experience an ongoing shortage of workers as their populations are aging. The labor market has been forever reshaped by the COVID pandemic.
