 by Richard Riehl - Jul. 14, 2011

Although Friedman is right about the jobs of the future, he doesn't really make the case that it is "influencing today's job market more than people realize." Yes, manufacturing jobs continue to move overseas and are less labor intensive with developing technology, but there's a lot of work that needs to be done now with infrastructure and alternative energy technology that could put people to work immediately. Urging this year's college graduates to prepare for a a changing job market has little to do with today's unemployment rate.
