What does our workforce look like today, what will it look like toward the middle of this century? What will work mean? Our panel explores issues including the proper target for workforce participation, potential ways to address decreases in workforce participation by non-college educated men, the potential costs and benefits on the workforce of the next wave of automation and artificial intelligence advancements and, more generally, the future of work in our country.
