This data indicates that future employment is heading in the direction of greater income polarization. Middle-wage manufacturing jobs will employ a smaller proportion of the US population. Most new jobs are projected to be in lower-income service sectors of the economy. Yet, as has been shown in this chapter, the geographic patterns of different service occupations will not be evenly distributed. At the urban and regional levels, places that see growth in higher-paying occupations, such as those that the creative class are attracted to, and others that can attract employers in the business services, technology, and scientific fields, will thrive. Cities and regions that cannot attract such employers are likely to see stagnant economies tied to lower-skill and lowwage services, such as home health aides caring for an elderly population, food servers, and retail employees. Within cities, economic segregation will continue to increase, with the educated and high-wage segment of the population enjoying vibrant neighborhoods, while less-educated and lowerpaid residents struggle to pay rent and face long commutes from lower-cost peripheral communities.
