Abstract

The article examines the paradoxical phenomenon of employment growth in the largest high-tech companies, paralleled by economic stagnation and general layoffs in other sectors. Drawing on a number of authoritative sources, the author comes to the conclusion about the imitative nature of some indicators and offers his own vision of the ongoing profound changes in the social systems and their economic basis in the developed countries.
