Apersonplanningforacareertodaymustlookcarefullyattheexpectedoccupationaltrendsandchangesinthejobmarket.Affectingtheeconomyarechangesinthesize,age,anddistributionofthepopulation,aswellasdevelopmentsintechnology.Thesechangesalsoaffectemploymentopportunities.Forexample,anagingpopulationhasincreasedtheneedformedicalcareandotherhealthservices.Computertechnologyhasnotonlyeliminatedorchangedthenatureofmanyjobsbutalsocreatednewoccupations.Byanalyzingthechangingeconomyandthefactorscausingthesechanges,apersoncanforecast,orpredictfuturetrendsinemployment.

ANewLaborForce

TheUnitedStateslaborforcethetotalnumberofpeopleovertheageof16whoareemployedorareactivelyseekingworktotaled127millionin1992.Bytheyear2005,thelaborforceisexpectedtoreach151million,anincreaseof19%.Thisincreaserepresentsaslightslowdowninthegrowthofthelaborforcecomparedwithgrowthduringtheprevious13-yearperiod,1979-1992.TheslowdownislargelyduetoslowerpopulationgrowthintheUnitedStates.

TheU.S.laborforcewillbecomemorediverseby2005,whitenonHispanicmenmadeupaslightlysmallerproportionofthelaborforcethanin1992,whilewomenandminoritygroupmemberswillmakeupalargershare.Between1992and2005,blacks,Hispanics,Asians,andotherethnic(种族的)groupswillaccountforroughly35%ofallpeopleenteringtheworkforce.Inaddition,womenwillcontinuetojointhelaborforceingrowingnumbers.In1979,womenmadeup42%ofthelaborforce.By2005,theirshareisexpectedtobe48%.

Theagemake-upoftheU.S.populationwillchangefrom1992to2005.Therewillbeasmallerproportionofchildrenandteenagersandalargerproportionofmiddle-agedandolderpeople.Thedeclineintheproportionofchildrenandteenagersreflectsthelowerbirthratesofthe1980sand1990s.Thelargeincreaseinthemiddle-agedpopulationreflectstheagingofthebabyboomgeneration—peopleborn

Thechangingagemake-upoftheU.S.populationwilldirectlyaffecttomorrow'sworkforce.Youngpeopleage16to24areexpectedtomakeuproughlythesamepercentageofthelaborforcein2005astheydidin1992.However,thepercentageofworkersage25to34willdeclinedramatically,from28%to21%.Thebabyboomgenerationwillcontinuetoaddmemberstotheworkforce,buttheirsharewilldeclineslightly.Themoststrikingchangewillbealargeincreaseinthepercentageofworkersbetweentheagesof45and54.Theseworkerswillaccountfor24%ofthelaborforcein2005,upfrom18%in1992.Workersinthisagegroupusuallyhavemoreemploymentexperiencethanyoungerworkers.Thus,employerswillbeabletochoosefromalargerpoolofexperiencedapplicants,peopleseekingjobs,incomingyears.

19.BiologicalMimicry

TheInventionofVelcro

Aftertakinghisdogforawalkonedayintheearly1940s,GeorgedeMestral,aSwissinventor,becamecuriousabouttheseedsoftheburdockplantthathadattachedthemselvestohisclothesandtothedog'sfur.Underamicroscope,helookedcloselyatthehook-and-loopsystemthattheseedshaveevolvedtohitchhikeonpassinganimalsandaidpollination,andherealisedthatthesameapproachcouldbeusedtojoinotherthingstogether.TheresultwasVelcro,aproductthatwasarguablymorethanthreebillionyearsinthemaking,sincethatishowlongthenaturalmechanismthatinspiredittooktoevolve.

Velcroisprobablythemostfamousandcertainlythemostsuccessfulexampleofbiologicalmimicry,or"biomimetics".In.fieldsfromroboticstomaterialsscience,technologistsareincreasinglyborrowingideasfromnature,andwithgoodreason:nature'sdesignshave,bydefinition,stoodthetestoftime,soitwouldbefoolishtoignorethem.Yettransplantingnaturaldesignsintoman-madetechnologiesisstillahit-or-missaffair.
