Mega Trends Driving The Job Market:
The prices of goods and services are increasing rapidly forcing people to work longer and save less for retirement.
Job security is evaporating. Established and startup companies are transforming the landscape. New technologies challenge existing skill sets. The shrinking workforce is forced to be more productive.
Established industries are transforming: autos: electric cars; Power generation: solar, wind; retail: eCommerce; food: takeout, delivery; entertainment: streaming just to name a few. New Industries are forming, established industries are transforming or disappearing. Whole classes of jobs are disappearing or the skills requirements are evolving; secretaries, truck drivers, factory workers, lawyers, middle management, etc..
Creator Economy
Work from any location
Work hours and the definition of the workplace are fluid.
Artificial Intelligence is shrinking the need for high paid professionals.
Electronic monitoring in our personal and work lives is commonplace.
Wage growth is not keeping up with inflation.
Fewer companies offer company funded retirement plans.
These factors are pushing many of us to work later in life. Retirement funds may not enough to maintain our standard of living. However, If we keep honing your employable skills, actively seek out employment opportunities that are good fits for our skills and interests, stay active, take care of our mental and physical health and stay positive, we can find meaningful and fullfilling work.
