2. Millions of jobs have been lost Many if not most of these jobs will not return (cartoons used by permission of Readers Digest)

3. Productivity is the Key It used to take more than 20 full-time workers to read roughly 140,000 gas meters in a small town in Massachusetts. With new technology, that work is now done by just one person. Productivity is the key to economic growth and that always results in more jobs

4. BUT NEW JOBS WILL APPEAR The U.S. economy has evolved from agriculture, to manufacturing, and now to service. Now we're transitioning to an economy that values expertise and specialization. With the right economic planning, including strategies to distribute goods and services to global markets, there could be plenty of new jobs to go around.

5. Hiring Managers Fear Wrong Choices Cost of training is escalating Wrong choices impact credibility Legal implications Budgetary limitations

6. Recruiters are using old paradigms Recruiters and job counselors will both face uncertainty as they work to match job candidates with job openings.

7. They struggle to match people with job descriptions

8. It’s a Paradox The uncertainty in who to hire will hinder competent individuals from getting jobs in which they would excel The lack of relevant information will permit the hiring of good people into the wrong jobs, which they will then lose, returning them to the unemployment pool
