Abstract: This article reviews recent writing on high-technology industry, job creation, and employment change. This work ranges from glowing assessments about the growth and effects of high technology and entrepreneurship to sober appraisals of America's lagging technological competitiveness. To a large degree, regional competitiveness is a product of the level and quality of information and knowledge possessed by local individuals and firms. This information and knowledge both creates a climate where entrepreneurship can be successful and softens technology's impacts on the labor force.
