- lotsofpulp 7y agoNot all employment is the same, especially the type that makes people feel like a cog in a machine, and pays similarly with poor future prospects.
- nerdponx 7y agoWe've been moving towards it for about as long as people have been predicting it. It's been happening in fits and starts, but it's been happening. I suspect that the rise of the "gig economy" is due in part to the fact that there is so much less necessary manpower required to keep society running. So the only work left is to cater to the desires of the rich and/or lazy.
- jsnider3 7y ago> employment is at an all timr low I think you meant unemployment here, but it's true the way you said it as well if you mean the labor force participation rate.
