• What effect did this shift in economic systems (from a largely agrarian society to an industrial society) have on workers and their families?
• Over the past 50 years, how has technology changed the workplace even further?
• In what ways are your career options different from those of your parents and/or grandparents?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
