🌎 Talent, Capital & The Shifting Job Market 📉
In this segment Brian Samson explains how labor and capital dynamics are reshaping the job market. He notes that Latin America’s strong talent pool created abundant labor supply, making capital less of a constraint and spurring the rise of nearshoring. By contrast, in the United States, massive government spending in 2020‑2021 led to higher inflation and interest rates, prompting investors to pull back and leaving companies with less capital. Simultaneously, U.S. unemployment rose modestly, creating a continual “rubber‑band” effect where supply and demand for labor are constantly being right‑sized.
