A changing labor force demands new solutions — and immigration is at the center of the conversation. 

On this episode of Tomorrowist, host Jerry Won speaks with Justin Ladner, SHRM Senior Labor Economist, to explore whatshifting immigration policies and demographics mean for the future of work. From evolving visa programs to surprising workforce trends, this conversation breaks down what business leaders should watch for in immigration and labor policy to stay ahead of disruption.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How immigration patterns have changed since the pandemic — and why they matter now more than ever.


• Why foreign-born workers are increasingly critical to filling labor and skill shortages as the U.S. population ages.


• Key questions executives need to ask about immigration policy and its impact on workforce planning, regional expansion, and even DEI strategy.
