ATLANTA — April 5, 2019— Rebecca Henderson, CEO and Executive Board Member of Randstad Sourceright, released the following statement today in response to the March jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“Today’s report confirms that high-growth industries are adding new talent to support their push toward digitizing their operations across sectors. This process is likely to stave off productivity losses by the shortage of skilled talent in our low-employment labor market,” said Henderson.


“As these companies compete more aggressively with the technology sector for talented workers, restrictions on visas for skilled immigrants is likely to squeeze the talent pool even tighter. Maintaining growth in a tightening job market will require the most dynamic companies to invest in their workforce through upskilling and reskilling programs.”
