Labor participation is expected to pick up in the U.S., adding as many as 1.5 million workers over the coming year, but economists at Goldman Sachs predict that will leave a sizable jobs-workers gap of around 1 million

Immigration slowed in the U.S. between 2019 and 2021 amid the spread of COVID-19 and policy changes, leaving the labor force about 1.6 million workers smaller than it would have been if it had stayed on its pre-pandemic trend

Broad bipartisan immigration reform appears out of reach, but smaller changes may have a chance, such as a bill for farm workers or other temporary jobs

To get price increases back to the Fed’s 2% target, the jobs-workers gap in the U.S. needs to narrow by around 2.5 million, according to Goldman Sachs Research
