New Trends!

A worrying comment heard today:

How tomorrow’s workforce must display

Its talents in new pies and grooves;

Careers may now comprise six moves!

 

Long-term contracts tend to vanish

As yet-unborn jobs will soon banish

Traditional placements; life will be

A bonanza for those with I.T.!

 

What gives with higher education?

New skills are honed at each work station!

As automation, sales on-line

Will obviate old jobs big time.

 

But as we’ve seen, health care is key

With medics now at top of tree

And the Service Sector will provide

More jobs when we can eat – inside!

 

The COVID death toll shrinks at last

But will this lock-down be the last?

Meanwhile, our social lives unravel …

Roll on the COVID Pass – and travel!
