We are having more trouble finding enough people with a wave of retirements hitting. But 5 years down the road all bets are off with how we see AI being utilized.

We had a lot of layoffs over the last couple of years but 2025 was strong and now we are hiring again. Lots of retirements too.

Lots of retirements coming. When a new department head is hired from the outside, many of the long-term employees retire or pursue other opportunities. More of that is needed.
