Re: <nettime> The Ideology of Immateriality

In my presentation at tulipomania I showed the chart of the kinds of jobs 
produced here in Silicon Valley. In absolute numbers they were: computer
engineers, systems analysts, general managers, programmers, janitors, waiters,
guards, ,math/sci engineers, and receptionists. the diagram is here:

That means that the hotbed of innovation is producing few middle class jobs
(except programmer) and lots of service jobs plus tons of temp work, but that's
a whole other trend.

In other regions I'm sure there are less tech jobs being created and more
service jobs.
