Jobs are either: 1. Rising in impact, so employers simply have to rank candidates mercilessly, ... Think: Creatives, White Color Workers, Executives, ... 2. ... Or becoming homogenized in order to be easily scalable and easily replaceable, so employers have no incentive not to weed mercilessly Think: Driver, Warehouse Worker, Restaurant/Retail Chain Employees of all Kinds, Low Level Managers, ... This is natural trend for LOCAL-OPTIMIZED action in an economic system continually optimizing for efficiency. Trust is a huge efficiency. But while I am a fan of ever rising standards, GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION of the economy requires rising standards to be coupled with on-ramps and advancement support. So people can also efficiently rise to those higher standards. Easily identifiable on-ramps, and self-advancement opportunities are important for those with lack of experience, and overlooked talents, but also victims of inequitable or self-inflicted history. Acceptance of dead ends for people creates immediate local problems (unemployment, family stress), but also metastasizes into global societal problems (political instability, tribalism, crime, less capable work force, less wealthy consumer class, retirement problems, social support oversubscription, etc).
