READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY:
Jobs in an age of insecurity
After 20 years at McDonnell Douglas during which Carol Ingram worked up to senior programming analyst,
she received a reduction-in-force notice. She tried going back to school, studying for a degree in business
administration, but has held only one short-lived job in the past year. Meanwhile her marriage has broken
up under the emotional stress of prolonged redundancy – not only for herself but also for her husband, who
was laid off by his factory.
It is no longer unusual for wife and husband to wind up together among America’s long term unemployed.
All sorts of people who never thought they would be on jobless lines – professional and managerial types,
highly skilled technicians and long-seniority office workers – are joining laid-off factory hands in looking for
jobs and nor finding them. However, the situation is not entirely dark for job seekers. Some jobs are still
expanding, though occasionally types that many people are unaware of. But what kind of jobs, and in what
industries? Some experts say that biotechnology will be one of the industries bound to grow. On the other
hand, many analyst regard health care as the high-tech field bound to generate more and better jobs.
For all the uncertainty, though, analysts can just discern the outlines of the future job market and suggest
ways for American workers to prepare for it. They should:
•
•
•
•
•
•
forget the idea of career-long employment with a big company;
be prepared to work for a foreign country;
be prepared to work for a woman;
get as much education as possible (experts agree that the future belongs to the knowledge worker,
master of his PC);
keep upgrading their skills (American workers can expect to change careers three or four times
during their working lives);
be prepared to work in small groups or on their own.
