What's Inside:
This year's Clarity report is informed by more than 650 government contractors who took the survey. While they shared a strong degree of confidence for continued growth, they also noted concern around labor shortages, competition, supply chain issues, shifting budgets and world events which are challenging their business operations and how they respond to rapidly evolving global market conditions.

Notable Findings: 


Competition Heats Up

The pandemic drove contractors to seek alternative revenue streams, making it hard to stand out in an already crowded marketplace.


'War For Talent' Rages On

Labor shortages were felt across every segment with government contractors of all sizes struggling to hire and retain top talent.


Complicated Gets More Complicated

Contractors are challenged to be more agile due to frequent changes to project scope, funding, supply chain issues, security and compliance requirements.
