Will Your Career Make You One of the “Creative Class”?
We’d like to think that our work improves not only our personal financial picture, but has a positive impact on our region’s economy as well. Blogger Jason Keeling notes a group in West Virginia whose efforts to strengthen the state’s economy are directed toward developing its “Creative Class”. Coined by Author Richard Florida, this term refers to workers in areas like engineering, the arts, biotechnology, education, architecure and even small business ownership. Workers like these are going to drive our nation’s economy in the 21st century.
It’s an interesting point when considering what career to enter. Do you want to belong to the Creative Class and be one of the 40 million Americans who will, according to Florida, determine how the workplace is organized, what companies will prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities will thrive or wither? West Virginia hopes you will!
