That's the real problem, isn't it? With the reduction of manufacturing jobs, people are freed to pursue creative careers, but these opportunities are not enough to be offered to all. With agricultural reductions, industry was there to pick up that labor and use it. But the same isn't true about the creative fields. They can't simply employ large-scale labor as it is reduced from manufacturing. Thus these people have to employ themselves in service jobs that are worse than their manufacturing positions.
This kind of regression is real problem, and for the global economy to be sustained, we will have to find better ways to employ this growing segment of the population.
