"Over the course of the last century, the number of workers employed in industry and in the farm sector has collapsed dramatically. At the same time, professional, managerial, clerical, and sales workers tripled, growing from one-quarter to three-quarters of total employment:' In other words, productive jobs have been largely automated away. But rather than allowing a massive reduction of working hours to free the world's population to pursue their own projects, pleasures and ideas, we have seen the ballooning of the admin sector, up to and including the creation of whole new industries like financial services or telemarketing, or the unprecedented expansion of sectors like corporate law, human resources and PR." "And these numbers do not even reflect all those whose job is to provide administrative, technical, or security support for these industries These are what I propose to call Bullshit Jobs." .... . - David Graeber
