This chapter argues that it is the region and its relationships, rather than the firm, that defines opportunities for individual and collective advance in Silicon Valley. It suggests that open labor markets offer important competitive advantages over traditional corporate job ladders in a volatile economic environment. The essential advantage of regional, rather than firm-based, labor markets lies in the multiple opportunities they provide for learning.
