Summary
The U.S. is facing its worst labor shortage in history, threatening the economy and national security as critical fields like nursing, teaching, and engineering struggle to fill roles.

Even with every unemployed person hired, millions of openings remain unfilled. States are scrambling with incentives and new agencies, but systemic change is urgently needed to adapt workforce training to real-time employer needs.
