What is the outlook for labor markets across the globe? As the global economy continued to slow down in most regions of the world in 2011, an even slower expansion is expected in 2012. All eyes are on Europe, where the sovereign debt and banking crisis is far from over. The U.S. economy has held steady in recent months, but there are significant risks moving into 2012.
In this HC watch we will discuss the implications for labor markers in the U.S (Gad Levanon), Europe (Christoph Hilbert and Bert Colijn) and Asia with a particular focus on China (Andrew Polk).
What is the outlook for employment, unemployment, compensation, availability of workers, and competitiveness? We’ll discuss these questions and more.
