A new definition of the same old RENDELLISM from Bob Reich:A growing percent of every consumer dollar goes to people who analyze, manipulate, innovate and create. These people are responsible for research and development, design and engineering. Or for high-level sales, marketing and advertising [!!!]
. They're composers, writers and producers. They're lawyers, journalists [!!!!!]
, doctors and management consultants. I call this "symbolic analytic" work because most of it has to do with analyzing, manipulating and communicating through numbers, shapes, words, ideas.TRANSLATION: We can replace all our manufacturing jobs with a twentieth of the numbers in health care, software and SHOW BIZ. Good luck!
