Future Employment Prospects
• Information is available from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov)
• “Tomorrow’s Jobs” Report is good, but makes projections for the period 2006-2016.
• What’s missing from this report if data collection ended by 2006?

Future Employment Prospects: Econ 101: Supply and Demand
Demand is impacted by various factors, for example:• Business cycles and the “vagaries” of the economy• Migration patterns of population• Other factors – Innovation, legislation, globalization,
cultural shifts, productivity gains…• Demographics
– According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the total number of persons aged 65 years and older is projected to increase from 35.6 million in 2006 to nearly 46.4 million in 2016, and will represent 18.5% of the population (as compared to 15.6% in 2006.)
– Total spending on health care was $2.7 trillion in 2007 (17% of the GDP) and some expect it to increase to $4.3 trillion by 2017.
– Result: Expected to drive growth in health care services, residential care facilities/senior centers, and home health care services.
