We’ve shifted to a knowledge economy. In a knowledge economy, talent can stand out. In fact, talent can enable things that are completely impossible by people who are not as talented. It isn’t a linear function anymore where you had two workers and one can do 1.7 times the work. It’s like you had one talented person and you could do things you just couldn’t do at all before. That’s why talent in a knowledge economy is so absolutely important and the war for talent is so critical.
That’s the backdrop, and this has been happening for 75 years, unions gaining less power, a lot of those jobs going oversees, and we shift to a knowledge economy and the labor market becomes more educated and enabled to differentiate.
