In '90 or '91, I forget, the Economist reported that the number of US realtors exceeded the number of annual transactions. At 30K per transaction, that's where we'll need to be to push labor into export-competing industries.
Wow CR, that's working through the weekend.
I smiled at the use of the world "flushed" in that piece:
"Some of these agents will be flushed out" of the industry, said economist Stuart Gabriel,
Sorta like that German short-haired pointer flushing out the pheasant in the bushes maybe. Ok, the image of the toilet does dominate my dismal imagination: is there anything else apart from the bathroom appliance that flushes? Wait. Occasionally I get my radiator flushed --getting rid of the old goo I believe. Not much of an improvement. Ok he did not say "flushed down" so it could have been worse.
"There's a precarious situation out there right now," he said, citing frustration among novices who find themselves regularly outfoxed by more seasoned realtors.
vader, does Google, a company of immense innovative capacity it seems to me, make a pass at this real estate morsel? My humble and not very informed view is that these RE commissions should not only be attracting the 'bottom feeders' but also the not-so-bottom feeders as well.
It is amazing how quickly things are starting to turn. A good friend of mine was supposed to close on a house in Irvine last week. When he initially locked into a fixed rate 30 year mortgage (prior to construction) he worked for a technology company. However, between then and the time he was supposed to close, he switched jobs and went to work for a local home builder. Prior to close, the mortgage lender went to verify employement, found out he worked for a home builder, and renigged on the mortgage.
A very telling indicator - the banks are getting very nervous.

I suppose it could have been worse... he could have worked for a bank.
It isn't like there are a lot of other jobs available. Not exports, but imports are one area, ports, shipping, transportation, but most are unionized so are difficult to get into.

"Nearly 2 percent of adults in California hold a license to sell residential property in the state..."
Ok, if I move to California I'll scratch that career from my list.
Remarkable.

calmo: Well, looks like your imagination & metaphors really don't beat mine!
I think those realtor wannabes should look at careers with a higher probability of success... maybe NBA basketball or golf pro.
You be right cm: you, not the devil, are a bad influence on me.
There are worse things that could happen to me.

Careers at the bottom of the food chain.
