A number of regions, particularly in the northern sections of the United States, are grappling with shrinking populations that are contributing to talent gaps in the workforce. Suffering from the loss of jobs in the 1970s and 1980’s, communities in the rust-belt area of the United States watched as manufacturing plants lost ground in the global marketplace.
