A Glimpse Into the Future

On May 14, 2007, Jaikumar Vijayan, writing for Computerworld, reported on what may be a look at the future for retailers in the United States.

Getting Ready for Generation Y

I guess it never occurred to me how many baby boomers would be eligible to retire in the next 10 years. I attended a HR seminar (Society of Human Resource Management’s Generalist Program in Las Vegas, April 19-20) a couple of weeks ago and when the instructor shot out the number of 78 million, it took my breath away. Meaning, 78 Million skilled/trained employees we are all highly dependent upon will be leaving the workforce.
