Creating Jobs in America! (Or, the changing nature of the instructional workforce)

Social media and job titles: A pixelated portrait of labour | The Economist

LinkedIn, however, says it knows that, and much else gleaned from the profiles of its millions of members. The social-media website for professionals can tell you that one of the fastest-growing job titles in America is “adjunct professor” (an ill-paid, overworked species of academic). One of the fastest-shrinking is “sales associate". 

My thoughts: Two items of note - the mining of social media data from sources like Linked-In and Twitter as reflections of trends + the changing nature of the instructional workforce.
