One reason for this is, “the fact that the US is going to witness the exiting of 50 million baby boomers over the next 10-12 years means that there is going to be a glut of people. It is estimated that there will be a shortfall of workers by some 10 million or so” (Harting, D. 2008). This shortage of manpower will also affect
