About the author

The National Industrial Conference Board was established on May 5, 1916, in Bronxville, New York, as a nonprofit organization created by business leaders who wanted a fact-based way to study industrial relations and broader economic problems. Over time, it built a reputation for research on labor, wages, productivity, management, and public policy.

In 1970, the organization changed its name to The Conference Board. Under that newer name, it continued expanding its work beyond labor questions into economic indicators, executive research, and global business insights.
