Jason Schenker highlighted key findings of a 2024 CSIS paper he coauthored before Democratic and Republican Congressmen discussed bipartisan immigration reform.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Prestige Economics and The Futurist Institute are pleased to announce that Jason Schenker, Chairman of The Futurist Institute and President of Prestige Economics, recently participated in a high-profile event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on “Immigration Policy Solutions for Critical Worker Shortages.”

On February 26, 2025, the CSIS Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business presented a Fireside Chat with Representatives Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), moderated by Philip Luck, Director of the Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business.

The Congressmen discussed worker shortages in critical sectors of the U.S. economy and identified possible policy solutions to achieve bipartisan immigration reform.

As a CSIS Adjunct Fellow and coauthor of the CSIS report, Jason Schenker helped set the stage for this discussion by presenting his findings on important trends in U.S. demographics and workforce needs.

This event was inspired by the CSIS report “Immigration Policy Solutions for Shortages in Critical Sectors of the U.S. Economy.” The discussion addressed pressing labor market challenges and explored how immigration policies can help mitigate workforce shortages across key industries. Jason Schenker, Thibault Denamiel, and William Alan Reinsch coauthored this report.

Schenker contributed his economic expertise to the CSIS report and the live event on February 26. He offered insights into the structural labor shortages in the U.S. economy and the broader macroeconomic implications of workforce constraints. His analysis underscored how tight labor market conditions, demographic shifts, and sector-specific shortages are reshaping economic growth and business strategy.

“The U.S. labor market remains historically tight, and labor force participation rates among older workers have declined significantly,” said Schenker. “At the same time, industries like healthcare, construction, agriculture, child care, and manufacturing face acute labor shortages that threaten long-term economic stability. Immigration policy represents a crucial lever for addressing these challenges and sustaining economic growth.”

As part of the discussion, Schenker highlighted findings from Prestige Economics and The Futurist Institute on potential future growth trends, shifting workforce dynamics, and the role of economic policy in securing future labor supply as a critical element of economic security. His participation reinforced the critical intersection of economics, immigration policy, and workforce planning in securing America’s economic future and bolstering America’s economic security.
