After the precariat, the unnecessariat: the humans who are superfluous to corporations

A very evocative article. I find myself reading it and looking at my kids, thinking “What can I do to keep them out of the Unnecessariat?”

I think the last 30 years of rapid change have taught us that whatever they learn in school (outside basic RRR and social skills) is not job training in any meaningful way. The next 30 years will continue the trend and see most current jobs automated out of existence.

I really don’t want my kids to experience the kind of despair that writer is presenting.
