It is unrealistic, though, to think the pressure to adjust will simply go away. But equally importantly, gains will come from doing completely new things – the provision of new products to meet people’s changing desires and needs. These will also, in time, be sources of major employment opportunities.
The answer to the question “where will the jobs come from?” is usually: from lots of places we haven’t thought of yet. Many of the jobs in the economy today are in activities that few predicted 25 years ago. Few would have foreseen the vast growth in employment in a range of industries that provide services to both households and businesses.
