Bright service sector future.

Recently seen in a flyer in New Orleans:
America's compulsory service sector has had an impressive history, starting
in the early 1700's. The first to serve the labor market in Louisiana were
Indians. That was because, in all the vast territory claimed by the French,
there was no one who could fill customer service positions except the
natives. Many of the more challenging administrative positions were being
filled by the French settlers, and unskilled manual labor was in high
demand. So the French tried to offer the Indian population the exciting
possibilities of working in this rapidly expanding field. In 1704, eleven
young Indians were involved in this new growth industry. Four years later,
the total had risen to eighty. However, Indians frequently had human
resource issues, such as the desire to secretly relocate without prior
employer notification, and efforts to correct these challenges resulted in
inefficiencies such as workforce attrition and occupational health
concerns. If a steady, dependable supply of labor was desired, it would
have to be sought elsewhere.

However, early efforts to appeal to African workers presented similar
challenges. In 1708, Bienville suggested that through African-Indian
worker transrelocation between Africa, the Caribbean, and Louisiana, these
inefficiencies could be lessened. This would be achieved through the
inability of the Indians to spontaneously relocate, and through the
intercultural challenges presented to the African worker by the Indians
outside the workplace through the potential of early retirement. Innovation
in the Louisiana workforce were not achieved until John Law's landmark
contract with the French that quickly offered 6000 unskilled French and
3000 African workers the exciting opportunities of labor in the burgeoning
New World Economy. Further advances in the service sector were also
achieved by the Spanish, who codified compulsory customer service not only
to Africans, but to any person 'of color.'

Much has changed since the 1700's, but advances in America's service sector
continue to flourish. Labor expenditures continue to be streamlined as
cities bid for the opportunity to offer tax incentives for the rapidly
expanding consumer service market. The greater efficiencies of
privatization offer excellent possibilities for educational reform through
voucher systems and advances in entry-level labor expenditure streamlining
between 25 to 46 percent, thus creating the potential for greater
profitability. Such forward strides have created an environment in which
work is abundant; service employees have the opportunity to engage in
several simultaneous career paths to support their families.

And we're all working together; that's the secret. We'll lower the standard
of living for everyone, not just in America, but we'll give the world an
opportunity to see what it's like to have a better lifestyle, a better life
for all. America is proud of what it's accomplished; but we've just
begun. Today, consumer product distributors and manufacturers employ
millions of associates worldwide. The American service sector has thousands
of stores, offices and factories throughout the world, and continues to
offer the promise of being part of the global labor market. In addition,
the Internet has allowed us to promote our founders' dreams of fulfilling
the exciting possibilities of service throughout the world. And today,
those dreams are the American Dream.
