Workers are set to have an upper hand in the job market as demographic changes make it harder for employers to hire and retain staff, according to a new study by economists at Glassdoor Inc. and Indeed Inc.

An aging population and reduced immigration have led to a smaller pool of workers overall, according to the joint report, which analyzed employment trends across the US, Canada, France, the UK, Germany, Australia, Japan and China. As a result, staffing in certain industries will remain challenging for years to come.
