Introduction
Demand for health care and social services professionals will continue to grow, but Edge of Bliss is at the forefront of addressing the labor shortage crisis. With nearly 1.8 million positions unfilled, our communities face unprecedented challenges. Edge of Bliss is taking the lead with innovative solutions, skills-based hiring, and AI-driven job market forecasting to transform the landscape of health care employment.
Bridging the Gap
Our Mission: 2.4 in 2024 initiative is aimed at increasing the labor force participation rate by integrating sidelined workers into meaningful roles.

The Jobs-Workers Gap
There are currently 2 million more jobs than there are people looking for them. That is a significant labor shortage, unless we get creative.
Projected 2024 Growth in GDP Requires Workers
The lastest forecast by the National Association for Economics is for a solid 2.2% increase in GDP this year. That’s doable, but the labor market will have to do its part.
The Importance of Skills-Based Hiring
Meeting ongoing hiring needs will likely require a shift away from traditional experience-based hiring.
More Than an Initiative
This is a movement to transform the job market into a more prosperous future for millions of potential workers and tens of thousands of employers.
A Catalyst for Change
Edge of Bliss is not just a platform; our mission is to dismantle the barriers to employment for millions, while helping businesses grow.
“Skills are like the currency of the workforce today.”
