The rise of the creative class from generation y to generation x and the latter half of the baby boomers, creativity and techonology has rapidly started to progress. From myspace to facebook and even amazon.com, people have become extremely set on networking and getting themselves out there to the public. The creative class are the people whether scientists, artists, musicians, designers or any knowledge based intiatives that create new ideas and awareness about inventions or innovational products. These creative people are beginning to change the economy, stimulating economic growth and pushing the envelope "so to speak" on the way the world lives and interacts with eachother. This class has drastically overtaken employment in the last decading accounting for $1.7 trillion of the north american salaries beating out the service sector. With jobs and business evironments becoming more and more creative fields of study and work, where are jobs and service wages going in the near future. Although the service sector is the one that start jumps the creative business sector, we are slowly seeing these jobs diminish right before our eyes. To help stimulate employment growth in this new economy look for service sector jobs to become more creative and begin to conglomerate with this high end business outfits. For the creative class to progress in creativity they must team up with all individuals and businesses in the near future, starting to build superpowers of intiatives, looking out for the economy as a whole, focusing on growth and stimulation in all areas and fields.
