where will the resources come from to staff all the new businesses in the area, in 2019?
In a world where a woman who actually wants to stay home with the kids while dad brings home the bacon is a luxury that most families can't afford, where a year a a top university will cost around $80k or more, where gas continues battling $4/hour, and minimum wage might pay half the rent, and no utilities?

I was born in 1939. Please see that I was five and not jitterbugging much. My parents lived through the depression AND delayed marrying until they were both thirty and could put a down payment on a home. And of course AT THAT TIME, that meant delayed having children too. (not like today)
The resources to staff all of the new businesses will be drawn by the businesses themselves. A rising tide lifts all ships. People seeking jobs will seek the new businesses.
And this is in answer to those who want to find some statistics on Educational levels in Sumter County and over 65 in the U.S.
education levels attained by residents of sumter county, florida - Bing
education levels attained by americans over 65 - Bing
P.S. Jazuela. I imagine that you attained more than I did? Who can judge the worth and value and wisdom of people? I can't. I sense that "staying home with children" may have some sociological and moral impact on the world and perhaps handing them over as infants to people that we would not trust with our car keys might have some impact on the world too.
