The Rising of Self Employment

The Rising of Self Employment

People in western states enjoy higher increases in
self-employment, 1.8% above the national average.
We believe that the "de-industrialization" of the USA,
caused by the end of the 20th Century and its
Industrial Revolution, has forced many seasoned, older
workers to move from supposedly secure, lifelong
employment into self-employment.
Moreover, we believe that many women and minorities
ere sick and tired of waiting for significant employment
opportunities, finding that self-employment is the true
route to their prosperity and professional success.
While the most recent self-employment boom is due
to declining employment opportunity, we believe that
another, even larger self-employment boom is
underway, powered by Generation X'ers using
the Internet and, in many cases, advantageous
direct selling and network marketing opportunities.
73% of Americans use the Internet. If you plan to
succeed in any business today, employment or self-
employment, you must learn to use the Internet well. Generation X'ers number 49.3 million. All agree, though, that this
population group is one step younger than the Baby Boomers.
Data show that X'ers are really not "slackers," but an
ambitious "unbeholden" generation, wanting to do things
their way-discarding the vocational paradigms of both
the Baby Boomers and The Silent Generation.
X'ers-a $1.1 trillion consumer market--include
marrieds (62%), minorities (37.9%), employed (81%),
and admirers of their parents (51%).
They prefer small, economical cars, marry later in life,
are very tech savvy (cell phones, computers, etc.), dislike
hype and self-importance and hate hypocrisy.
X'ers reject the core values of 20th Century corporate culture
of job security by sucking up, lifelong employment at one company, unquestioning company loyalty, doing exactly what they were told, and bowing down meekly to dim-witted coneheads holding lofty corporate titles.
The sun is setting on lifetime employment. The sun is rising
on self-employment. We are returning to the historical normalcy
of self-employment. Except for the Industrial Revolution,
self-employment has been historically normal. Lifelong employment
really has been a wretched historical abberation.
Plan now to be self-employed, then depart from the cubicle farm voluntarily at your convenience, not involuntarily at theirs.
