    HR leaders face a highly competitive labor market as they struggle to attract and retain essential talent. Between January and October 2021, talent demand in the U.S. rose 44%. Simultaneously, the labor force participation rate reached a 45-year low, and record attrition has further exacerbated supply side pressures. 

    While competition for top talent isn’t new, previous spikes in demand focused on specific functions, sectors or roles. The latest Gartner TalentNeuron™ labor market data signals pervasive competition across the majority of U.S. functions.
