The document discusses three perspectives on jobs - people, firms, and policy. It notes that before the Industrial Revolution, no one had jobs. It also discusses declining union membership rates in the US workforce. While jobs are still used to measure economic growth, the relationship between people and jobs is dissolving. The private and public sectors both play a role in job creation, but value can be created even without traditional jobs. This shifting landscape has implications for how organizations define and find talent now.
