Economists still very divided on duration, turning point signals, and level of job growth in recovery 3. Continued transition to services, not products for value-added and employment opportunities. 4. Productivity through technology implementation will transform many job sites and skill sets.

More jobs in small firms, greater use of leased and independent contract labor means fewer and shorter career ladders 6.Higher overall workforce education levels encourage fewer internal career ladders, fewer growth options for unskilled when they get a job e.g. hire outside folks who don’t need training 7. Organizational structure moving from pyramid to flatter pyramid to hour glass, so fewer ports of entry for low skill workers
