First Theorem of the Skilled Jobs Economy
Utilization of enhanced skills depends largely on a demand for enhanced skills
Demand for enhanced skills depends on innovation and creativity at the workplace
Workplaces vested in the status quo do not contribute to demand for enhanced skills
A culture of innovation creates a steady demand for enhanced skills
