So many people work today just for healthcare---and they work hard to keep their jobs, and healthcare. As the link between company and healthcare goes away, you will have more people floating around, in and out of the workforce. People, a Gen X, Gen Y, Millenium Gen, whatver Gen---as time passes, less reliance on the Company. More reliance on a social safety net. Good, or bad, not sure. Check back in 30 years.

But then that won't be the way it looks. Whoever put that together simply used linear extrapolation on their $2.99 Walmart calculator. If we don't realize by now (With all of Wall Street's similar extrapolations) that the world is a tad more complex than that.......... Keep that graphic and let's look back in ten years to see how accurate they were. Not very. If that is the way our economy will look in ten years, God help us.

They do not attempt to account for the up and downs in the economy. I worked with an economist, who knew the methodology and did not think either the national or the statewide projections were worth much. Unfortunately, the methodology for this is based on the past.

Healthcare up 22.5%, as if it is not bankrupting the country at present levels already? Banking up 7.9%? I guess it is possible, if the gaming industry will be officially included in the sector! And on, and on. Employment services going up 19.2 % when overall employment will go up 10.5 %? Healthcare up 22.5%, as if it is not bankrupting the country at present levels already? Banking up 7.9%?
