Switzerland retains its top spot, while the U.S. drops significantly due to factors like cost of living and language skills.
The ranking measures how economies around the world perform when it comes to sustaining their pool of talent. This year, the list was developed through a combination of survey answers and hard data from the IMD World Competitiveness Center and external sources across 67 economies globally.
Switzerland remains at the forefront of talent competitiveness, topping the list since the ranking's inception in 2014. The country dominates on investment and development, as well as the appeal factor. Singapore's steady rise is driven by the readiness of its talent pool, rated as No. 1 among countries in the ranking. The country also shows the highest absence of discrimination, and ranks first when it comes to labor force growth, the availability of skilled labor and the availability of finance skills, according to the report.
