Yule ( Pre-Teen Heart-Throb ), Bede Hemanta Eagle and I were discussing last night, as we chatted to Regan Lawton in Alice Springs on Skype, while working on Lobal/Imerso business, how our Lobal solutions will be addressing exactly those elements named in this article, as pivotal to future employability and the widening disparity of wealth distribution. From the article: For us in the startup community, maybe there is a real opportunity to provide leadership here. We could create labor markets and structures that direct people to the most lucrative job offerings, and advise people in real-time of the classes, people, and projects they should be engaging in order to progress in their careers. I have brainstormed publicly that a real-time labor market protocol may solve some of these problems. At sufficient scale, this might just turn back the split in the labor force we have witnessed recently. It is not often we get to work on some of the largest issues facing humanity. We need to take advantage of the moment, and work to solve the underlying labor problems that plague our economy. We created many of the dynamics we are seeing today – let’s do our part to reform it. The tension comes when you look at the government’s projections for job growth over the next decade. The jobs with the highest expected growth are also among the jobs that are least likely to provide a living wage, occupations like personal care aides (median salary: $19,910 per year), retail sales people ($21,110 per year), home health aides ($20,820 per year), food preparation workers ($18,260 per year), and the list goes on. In fact, of the top 20 occupations with greatest expected job growth, only two of the categories are above the current median wage of the country. techcrunch/2014/06/06/productivity-and-the-education-delusion/?ncid=fb&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=fb
