Week 5 Discussion Discussion 1: WorkforceDuring the past few decades, demographers began to predict major shifts in the ethnic and racial population of the U.S. These shifts, in turn, have significantly impacted the social composition of the labor force. The workforce changes that we have already seen in both the private and public sector include: increases in the number of women, increases in foreign-born or immigrant workers, and increases in the average age of workers.In this Discussion, you will examine the evolution of an organization's workforce and consider the implications on human resource management. You will develop strategies to capitalize on a changing workforce. For this Discussion, review this week’s Resources. Review Chapter 12 of Human Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations, paying particular attention to the evolving workforce. Review "The Workforce" segment of the course media. Focus on the evolution of the U.S. workforce. Identify a government or non-profit organization and consider the role of workforce planning within this organization.Then, visit the U.S. Census Bureau website or census bureau website of your nation.
