As more people work from home, telecommute, work for people on the opposite side of the planet, etc, those (and other issues) are all points that the employment system will be forced to address... and fairly soon, I expect. Some visionaries used to describe the "Third Industrial Revolution" would be working in space. But I think it will more likely be working from home, and it will create a sea-change in the way we do business and make a living.
(Working in space will probably be the Fourth.)
