“The Middle Class is Getting Fired” But Here’s One Way to Survive: Altucher | Daily Ticker - Yahoo! Finance

The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll found that 58% of Americans think the U.S. is still in recession even though the recession officially ended four years ago.
“The middle class is getting fired,” says James Altucher, author of the new book, “Choose Yourself: Be Happy, Make Millions, Live the Dream.” He tells The Daily Ticker, “The bulk of people are getting either downsized, or outsourced, or globalized… and temp staffers are filling the holes, or people around the world are filling the holes.”
So what’s a worker to do?
Deal with it, advises Altucher. He writes, “Jobs are disappearing and every industry is in the process of transformation. In order to keep up, individuals have to transform also… you have to choose yourself.”
