The American Dream Today

By the beginning of the 21^st century, the industrial world was swiftly giving way to the digital world. The economy shifted from national to global.  We, as American individuals, no longer have control over finding a good job and creating a long-term career.

The average length of time spent at a single job declined from 40 years to less than 5, and it’s still shrinking.

Innovation and abundant resources allowed the US to become a global economic empire. There is no shortage of factory workers; the labor supply is more abundant than ever. What is needed – as everyone knows – is more employment.

Globally, over three billion people need a good job, but less than half that many are available. The competition is great; in a global economy–where you are competing with people who live in countries where the cost of living is a fraction of yours–those who can afford to work for less will get the jobs.

 

 

 

 

In the US:

• Businesses are downsizing and outsourcing

• The dollar is devalued worldwide

• The cost of living is rising

• Technology is replacing the workforce

  We are on the brink of another economic revolution.
