CB Richard Ellis- Workforce Longevity Model CBRE's Labor Analytics Group developed a risk evaluation tool, The Workforce Longevity Model, that can identify which of its clients' operations may be in markets that would maximize their success, and which may be at risk today, or in the near future. It analyzes several competitive, market, and client factors in order to determine the longevity of each labor market. It is an analytical tool built to assist clients in estimating the likely durability of a labor market based on specific operational parameters.
