Very true and insightful. You can see it yourself in San Francisco where there are so many millionaires and equal number of homeless, unemployed people. Education system needs to be revamped catering towards the jobs that the new industries are creating and those that do not even exist yet!
With the price of oil rising ever day it may soon be too expensive to be shipping goods around the world. Those containers from China may get more expensive and companies may decide to bring jobs back home rather than pay the high price of shipping. Wages are dropping in the US and wages are rising in China so at some point we may start making things in America again. We can hope.
The only way out of this "Perfect Storm" is to empower the people with a tool that will allow them to use their skills, talents, abilities, and knowledge to make money. This would encourage and create skilled, smart, talented, and able individuals of any walk of life, compete with local businesses and other individuals for gigs, projects, jobs, and more. Something like that would balance the market and make it more efficient while giving everyone the opportunity to do the things they love and have a passion for. That is what we are working on. This tool is already available at http://www.hiredfor.com/
