Human capital and the creative class

It's a big issue, I know. I've been working on it with Charlotta Mellander, a Swedish researcher, and our first foray is this report on Sweden. In a nutshell, the report shows that the creative class measure of occupations significantly outperforms the conventional (education-based) human capital measure. It examines how different kinds of creative talent, including specific occupational groups, like scientists and engineers, and artists, designer and entertainers affect development. And it shows how three dimensions of quality of place - universities, amenities and diversity of consumer services and tolerance - shape the geographic distribution of human capital and the creative class.  We are now working on a similar study of the United States.  A  short except from the executive  summary:

While there is consensus on the importance of human capital to economic development, debate takes shape around two central issues. First, there is the question of how best to measure human capital. The conventional measure of human capital is based on educational attainment (share of population with a bachelor’s degree and above). But more recent research suggests that it is more important to measure what people do than what they study, and thus occupationally based measures, associated principally with creative class occupations, have been introduced. Second, there is debate over the factors that yield the geographic distribution of human capital in the first place. Three alternative factors have been found to play a role: universities; amenities (measured here as diversity of service industries); and openness and tolerance. We find that the creative class measures outperform conventional educational measures in accounting for regional development across our sample of Swedish regions. We also find that universities, amenities or service diversity, and openness and tolerance affect the distribution of human capital. These factors do not operate in competition with one another, but tend to attract or affect different types of talent. They can be thus said to play complementary roles in the geographic distribution of  talent.

I've been hearing about this creative class, and how it's the next big thing/group, and how it's transforming the economy, but here I am, a member of that creative class, unemployed with my Ph.D. I have a Ph.D. in the Humanities, a M.A. in English, and a B.A. in molecular biology and I'm a writer (poetry, fiction, etc) and interdisciplinary scholar, and I can't find anyone who knows what to even do with me.

Has a study been done to test a disconnect between self organized communities and their interface with the corporatized community? There seems to be a bottle neck holding up what is the more obvious trend Richard Florida has pointed out. Also, if I was running a university or degree program I would feel my business model threatened by a grass roots meritocracy. If corporatized education is holding hands with a corporatized work force that could also lead to a nice kick back scheme designed to disinclude grass roots creativity from normal forms of compensation. You can extrapolate further I'm sure.

She sat up, staring with her nightsight at the outlines of the men around her. Not so strange to be fucking Hyle, but where had the compulsion come from? A number of prices? She even stood, with the vague intention of leaving the balcony. She clutched him, snatched at her thoughts like fireflies flitting about her. Rocks and debris filled them still, but she had done what shed come to do. Im eager to see this spell. Gala teased, tossing a floor pillow at him. Maybe she should run and change. I realize just saying it isnt enough, but I have to start somewhere. I love all three of you and probably always have. Brevin caught it easily, chuckling. She cant make it easy, can she? He kissed her before she could answer, lips pressing to hers. Did he take your ass? His attention drifted down to watch as she wrapped fingers around his cock. For now, there is just the one. What would you have done if she hadnt reacted? I only want to be with you, Nialdlye. Even that couldnt prepare her for feeling it firsthand.
