Task Rabbit Is The New Model For Work In The 21st Century & The End Of A Job Market.

Forget about jobs getting better. It will only get worse over time as full time jobs are turned into temp or contract jobs for the masses. The end of the full time job is at hand as companies embrace the new model of "contract employment". Every worker is their own business selling their skills to the lowest bid. Independent contracting and outsourcing is the new business model in a free market economy. Even workers are in the free market selling their skills for work contracts.

Look around will your job be next. And that is what it means to compete in a global economy free of regulations.

good thing I'm getting out of the work force, but I've dealt with subcontractors in the building trades for a long time and wonder what happens when a paper shuffler makes a mistake that isn't discovered for weeks. Do they have to take it apart and rebuild it for free or what? What I discovered the most was how hard it was for people to take care of their business.

Remember that drawing about "How an engineer designed it" "how a salesman sold it" etc?


I can see this getting to be real good
