Are we moving to a world without jobs?

I was thinking today about all the people who, last week, thought they were in a secure job, and this week find themselves facing unemployment.

In the early 90s I sold off a chilled food factory to new owners who quickly got rid of most of the people working there.

One of them told me later it was the nudge she needed to follow her passion, and open her own Reiki business.

The sort of contract with business that my father entered into in 1936, when, at 16, he joined the company from which he retired 45 years later, no longer exists.

In many areas short-term contracts are the norm these days. The provision of labour to industry through agencies is accelerating.

In The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles said that the most valuable thing we can do is open the eyes of the masses to the potential that lies within them.

Are the huge sales of The Secret into the mass market a sign that eyes are starting to be opened?

Or is there still an overwhelming attachment to the perceived security of a job?

Will we devise new ways of working that allow us to make more choices about what we do, when, and for what in return?

Are the events of this past week the start of great social change for the greater good of us all, or are they a blip on the path to most people ceding even more control over thei makreintr lives to their employer and the state?

    Yes I like the idea of being more self sufficient and self employed.

    It is odd that “having a job” is thought of as having security. Your only security are your own skills and attitude.

    Yes, I think the old days of feeling secure in a job are gone, and better things are taking place. Look at all the jobs available for people to work at home these days. And the business opportunities, there are so many. I think we live in wonderful times!

    I have been “unemployable” for 25 years. Some folks are meant to work for themselves and not someone else.

    Law of attraction is at work in every situation. If you could look at someone’s vibration, you would see that what they are experiencing is a direct result of what they are either wanting or not wanting (vibrating).

    If they could look at whatever is happening as an opportunity, they would be able to experience something much better than they were experiencing before.
