The following pair of links came through my Twitter timeline today almost simultaneously, and they make me believe that I will never be “employed” again:

In Praise of Cheap Labor - Bad jobs at bad wages are better than no jobs at all. Paul Krugman, New York Times

Labor Efficiency: The Next Great Internet Disruption. Nick Cronin, TechCrunch

They also reinforce ideas that I first heard during my MBA eight or so years ago that employment of the future will be all about the “portfolio career”. 

I’m pretty sure the future is now.
