Changes shift skills.
From typewriters to PCs,
From skilled labor to automation,
The right to do the same job across decades has never existed. From 1990 - 2020 knowledge work was largely protected. People were able to learn the tools that made the job easier along the way, and for a moment, knowledge work generated outsized income compared to labor in that time frame.
As wages exploded, personal expenditures followed as cell phone plans, DoorDash, cars, and other personal luxuries increased their share of wallet.
In 2025 knowledge workers are forced to recognize a harsh reality. Mainly, they aren't that skilled anymore. AI is about to rip away knowledge worker duties just as fast as automation pulled away the assembly lines.
Add offshoring, and the population of skilled labor along with output of AI has made many people "skill-less." Not useless, but skill-less.
It's time to learn new skills. Your old job is not coming back.
