Jobs in the Metaverse

The metaverse is unleashing a wave of new economic opportunities for people around the world. This article is about the new forms of employment emerging in this next generation of the Internet. Naturally, a huge number of the jobs are going to be in the science, engineering and business jobs required to build the entire value-chain from semiconductors and basic materials on up to the enabling software; but here, I'm focused on the jobs that going to be in the metaverse, rather than the jobs involved in making it… because this is the aspect of the metaverse that is transformative for the work we all do. In a recent earnings transcript, Unity noted that game making is already trending towards far more artists relative to the number of technologists. This informs how the metaverse will grow as well.
