Nevertheless, I do agree that there is a profound shift in the employability of many Americans.
When my parents grew up, in the Great Depression, they entered a world that was struggling in the aftermath of the transition from an agricultural society to an industrialized one.
Now we, the US, have moved post industrial (see the spin-off I put up about NH). Another shift in society, another wave of fractured institutions.
Where we go from here I do not know.
