I’m not sold on the shade of green I chose, so that might change, but everything else is set up other than minor details.

WordPress seriously reduces the quality of anything I add, so please bear with me.

Standard introduction slide to make sure everyone understands what I’m talking about. I need to come up with a different phrasing though because I explore the transition- so I might end up putting it as “the transition of the job market”

I’m going to be talking about the standard 9-5 office job, so an office space felt appropriate.

I then transition into other traditions that we as a society are leaving in the dust- like the house in the suburbs

This is data about teleworking, since that is part of a nontraditional shift that has come around due to the pandemic.

This talks about how 30% of people were self-employed or hired by those self-employed in 2014. This highlights how self-employment is not a new option, but there was exponential growth due to the pandemic.

This statistic talks about the possibility of more automated jobs in the future, which is another reason self-employment is becoming a more popular route. People would rather jump ship when they can then wait to be fired and replaced by a machine.

This last statistic touches on wage stagnation. Only the top 10% have seen salary increases, and with self-employment, the sky is the limit if you can figure out how to make a profit well.

I feel like I need an ending slide, and because I’m posing questions at the end, I might just be cheesy and have a question mark for the final slide.
