RALEIGH – The Triangle’s economy is changing, driven by factors both related and unrelated to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

That includes the latest shifts in the labor market and in the race for talent, both locally in the Triangle where there are more than 60,000 job openings, and globally, as many professional roles have moved to remote environments.

But what do workers want, and will it be permanent? How can companies respond, today, to prepare for the workforce of the future?

Those are some of the questions discussed throughout this week’s “Future of Work” reports, a special project conducted by WRAL TechWire that investigates the changing economy, real estate, and the labor force.
