A decade or two rather than a year or two. But the after-effects of the recession will speed up the process. As per previous downturns, when coming out of a downturn firms will want to hire contractors and freelancers - partly to a) help manage the cost base and b) give them flexibility in case there is a 'double-dip' and they need to shift gears once again I agree, the place where we're heading is much better place. But like any journey to a worthwhile destination, there is (and will still will be) some short term pain before the long term gain. That's the point I was trying to make at the end of the article - that rather than the middle class recession being the worst thing ever - for some people, it will be an amazing catalyst for a much happier life - personally and professionally.

Unfortunately, I believe that in the U.S.A. it takes at least an entire generation to pass before our "work force" "gets" these shifts. As, usual, the "early adopters" transition more quickly and effectively. Personally, I believe that this shift is going to improve global mental health. Though the past couple of years have been most challenging, I remain positive and excited about the future! Sital, I have been discussing exactly this shift with my clients for at least 4 years.
