Welcome to your monthly newsletter from The Conference Board Economy, Strategy & Finance (ESF) Center of Europe.

One feature of 2019 is that, despite recession fears, there is no end in sight for labour shortages, especially in Germany, Eastern Europe, Japan, the UK, and the US.

Our Global Labor Market Outlook 2019 shows how companies can tackle this intractable problem and avoid major adverse impacts on corporate profitability.

We look forward to providing you with timely insights into the key issues of our day. Up-to-date information on topics of interest are always available on our dedicated ESF webpage.
