If you ignore the over-arching message about the Federal Reserve, the article is very poignant. This quote sums it all up: " there are 50-years-olds who may never work again."
It's sad to imagine working your entire career to build a resume for a job that disappears. While half of me feels sorry for them, the other half thinks about the blue-collar workers who have existed this way for a long while. It's not uncommon to work in a factory for a long while and then lose your job - having such specialized skills that you can't find work. That's why they have unions.
Maybe the age of the white collar worker is changing. Maybe they need unions too.
