Ever since the Puritans established Harvard on September 8, 1636, higher education has been a growth industry. Some might get a management trainee job in the grocery industry, like it, stay on, and later pick up a college degree online, with tuition paid by the employer.   Prediction: A power outage throughout the entire Academic-Industrial Complex. COVID-19, not the Invisible Hand, is undoing centuries of the market dynamics in higher education.

Indeed, hospitality and food services — which overlaps significantly with the events industry — has the unsettling distinction of leading all other sectors in reported cases of sexual harassment.

Technology has become  the  glam industry. The work is stimulating, well-paid, and high profile. So, no surprise, in it, the players tend to be finished by age 40. That ageism is more of a problem than gender discrimination. The culture is youth-based.    In Bloomberg , Jeff Green reports that the recent research by Visier Inc. found that those 34 to 51 are 33% less likely to be hired than younger workers. And those 52 though 70 are 60% less likely.

The motorcycle industry, reports Bloomberg , has become a victim of our growing sense of caution. Some of us Baby Boomers went directly to a full-powered motorcycle. The rest, such as myself, were more timid. We started with a motorbike. As we gained confidence in our ability to navigate traffic, we longed for a vehicle which we could take on the highway. That's when a Honda 250 and I became inseparable. Then was then. A very joy-filled then.

In the highly regulated oil industry those former lawyers in communications proved obstacles to getting things done. No surprise when that oil company was taken over and they had to land jobs in other industries, they usually were fired - pronto.
