The NPO Job Market in 2020

As a Millenial, I am said to benefit from three main factors coinciding in the near-term: low birth rates, a surge in retirements, and caps on immigration. Clearly, what's most talked about is the retirements, but its effect is predicated on the other two conditions. I have often dismissed this and assumed that businesses would shift to adjust for the global marketplace availablity (Hello India, good bye America), but this cannot apply to domestic social agencies.

What I wonder is, how hot will the job market be for non-profit leaders? Will this be a time of great consolidation? I think this will be a period of great change where we learn if organizations are willing to adapt or if they'll promote incompetant leaders sooner than merge with similar organizations.
