now that information has been digitized it is a bunch of 1's and 0's math can be used to search through all this new digitized information also to mix, match and manipulate this content in other new ways. also with marketing, management, research, and operations.
Yahoo and google are hiring new math grads.
The UPS man and nurses in the hospital.
62 percent of jobs will require proficiency in math in the next 10 years
People will have to morph and adapt to new jobs in this new flat world like Bill Greer has done with his classic illustrator techniques to design consultant.
Since all types of information is being digitized, math is needed to analyze all of it because of the 0s and 1s that define digitizing.
Yahoo, Google, and any other Internet powerhouse hires math graduates to analyze data.
UPS delivery men, and nurses need math.
62% of our jobs will require math training.
Morphing is when people adapt to new jobs in the new flat world.
Everything is being turned into math with a system of 1's and 0's, manipulated, mixed, matched. Words, codes, documents, music, everything is becoming math.
Namely Google and Yahoo, but probably most other major internet resources. I'd say myspace, facebook, ask.com, amazon, wikipedia, and anything else that needs constant revision and editing.

He's getting at adapting. He's saying that the jobs they're doing now and everything are really morphing fundamentally and that we're going to have to be able to morph with them.
Also the two "ordinary" jobs that require a basic understanding are nurses (because they have to work all those incredibly complicated computers) and UPS delivery men (who have to understand the algorithms used in stacking their boxes in order of delivery). Left that out in the first comment.
Search engines like Google and Yahoo. Marketing, management, research and operations.
Police officers and military personnel. Nurses and teachers.

People will have to adapt to new standards. The job fundamentals won't change any, but the actual work it takes to perform the task may change.
