« Learning the Hard Way | Main | A Soldier's Christmas Carol » December 24, 2003Where the Jobs AreI have argued previously that while manufacturing jobs may be disappearing, other jobs are going to develop as people's tastes and requirements change. Virginia Postrel, author of The Future and its Enemies and The Substance of Style, discusses one example of an industry that didn't exist ten years ago, but is now providing new jobs and new revenue. I am not suggesting that Christmas light decorating is the big job of the future, but this is a good example of how new products and services are developing all the time.Posted at December 24, 2003 02:39 PM
Comment policyI apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
