   obsolete when the personal computer arrived. On the other hand,   
   that creation allowed new organizations and jobs to develop.   
      
   The invention of photography revolutionized the world,   
   eliminating some professions, but creating many new ones. Before   
   photography, some prisons employed “recognizing officers” –   
   people who identified repeat offenders. With cameras obtainable   
   and affordable, photographers replaced the recognizing officer   
   to process mug shots of each prisoner.   
      
   Schumpeter asserted that the “process of creative destruction is   
   the essential fact about capitalism.” It is ebb and flow; a   
   recreation or a rebirth sustained by constant innovation. As new   
   ideas come to life, so do new industries, organizations and   
   jobs. To keep innovative people working, organizations and   
   governments must create jobs for them and invest in their   
   progressive ideas.   
      
   Governments and organizations that create quality, high-skilled   
   jobs focused on innovation will yield more of the right jobs,   
   engage their entire workforce, and ultimately create a diversity   
   of jobs at all levels. Creating such jobs is key to economic   
   growth and sustainability. This, in turn, will fulfill the needs   
   of the underemployed who desperately want to make a difference   
   to their communities and the world.   
      
   If a country loses its most educated and skilled people to other   
   countries due to a lack of fulfilling jobs, that economy will   
   stagnate.   
      
   Facing Reality   
      
   Technology will change the jobs we do.   
      
   While secretaries, telephone operators, word processors and   
   typists were rapidly disappearing between 2000 and 2010,   
   employment in computer systems design and related services grew   
   by a healthy 18% around the same period (BLS). The emerging   
   sector even withstood the recent recession losing only 1% of its   
   workforce during the downturn. From 2003 to 2013, BLS reported   
   37 percent employment growth in the IT industry.   
      
   Highly skilled innovators that dream-up and advance our future   
   will create new jobs and industries. The more high skilled jobs   
   there are, the lower both unemployment and underemployment will   
   become.
