I got a huge response to my earlier blog item on “The Talent-Shortage Myth”—too many to put here in a blog item. For the most part, I found the huge outpouring of response to be intelligent and insightful. Some agreed with me, many thought I was wrong, but the majority said something along the lines of “Yes, you are right in part, but have you considered this … ?”

In order to publish as many of these reader responses as possible, we have put them here in a format that should make it easier for you to scroll through them and dig into what these many different people have to say about the notion of a coming talent shortage with the retirement of the baby boomer generation as ground zero. 

I’m still game for any additional comments about the talent shortage, real or not, or any of my other posts. Until we get the comment posting function on this blog operational, send me comments at jhollon@workforce.com.
