Predictions For The Dystopian Job Market Of The Future

The future job market will be radically different--almost alien--to what we have now. There are a waves of forces that will significantly change the way we work and the type of jobs we hold. The rapid ascension of sophisticated technology, global connectedness and a confluence of other factors will make the workforce of the future almost unrecognizable. The South by Southwest festival (SXSW), in addition to its music and film, is also a home for smart, distinguished people to come together and discuss important issues. This year, one of the panels will include talks about job design and the future of work and will offer a follow-up piece about their conclusions.
