Bitcoin has opened doors to new crypto and the blockchain based work. Like storage services, cloud services, writers, programmers who write smart contract, art, web designers and many others.
Now the bigger work is in the mining bitcoin and then using the exchanges for the distribution. Now mining has opened another set of the jobs and the business services around. Like GPU, CPU renting, hosting and many other services around the mining work for bitcoin.
Like those buying rigs and also maintaining them and having the means for electricity productions and also there are going to be the mining companies being setup and getting the funds and the services for the overall infrastructure.

As per the data from the texas blockchain council. I think there would be a chance for the blcockhain to improve economy if there are jobs and the services being developed in this space.
Especially for developing protocols, service the users needs and also building the small business around such type of the blockchain and the tokens it would make a sense to make use of the same. I have found out that the way the blocckhain councils are reporting the jobs, there could be more on the freelance scale rather than the open market jobs on linkedin.
In short the freelance based diaspora for the blockchain based jobs are going to be more potent too. It would be possible to see more jobs that would earn decent livelihood in the upcoming times. I suppose we would see about that in upcoming times as well.
