A “job” is when you are doing something useful for other people, and you are rare enough so it makes sense to pay you money for it for a long time. Nobody ever guarantees you a “job” if you are not useful anymore for some specific field of work. It doesn’t make any business sense. If you continue to get money for something while not being useful enough for your employer, this is not a “job”, this is charity.
And since jobs were a XX century social construct where one could expect that people would have professions which are useful enough for most of their lives — there will be no more “jobs” soon. Only contracts, alms, charities, and war mercenaries.
And there is no way to turn this around, until we invent new ways of doing business, without relying on “jobs”.
