Friedman believes in order to fight the quiet crisis of a flattening world, the United States work force should keep updating its work skills. Making the work force more adaptable and skilled will keep it more employable. He also suggests that the government should make it easier to switch jobs by making retirement benefits and health insurance portable and by providing insurance that would partly cover a possible drop in income when changing jobs. Friedman also believes there should be more inspiration for youth to be scientists, engineers, and mathematicians due to a decrease in percentage of these professionals native to America.
What skills might a young person need to focus on to thrive in a flat world?
