There definitely seems to be two things going on: - Every year it gets easier to start a new business. - Every year big companies provide less job security.

Combine this, and there is a move to free agency.
This is great for people who can find a way to get paid for differentiated skills. It is awful for commodity skills.
- tomjen3 15y agoHonestly this is nothing new. Selling commodities of any kind has alwas sucked unless you can do it at scale (which is basically impossible when the limiting input is ones time). For a short time industrialization meant that the least skilled could produce as much as the most skilled, but as pg argued that was as special case of a special situation. I know of no case where it has happened before or after, anywere. If you only have commodity skills, the best thing you can do is to go down to the nearest community college.
