Overview: The argument that paying for animated people skills and capabilities rather than inanimate jobs was and is a powerful and convincing one. It just makes immense sense to organize the work to be done around the capabilities of the people to hire, rather than just forcing people into jobs and expecting them to perform as the jobs are structured. The logic of skill pay repeatedly overpowered that of job-based pay from a conceptual perspective. Skill pay makes incredibly good sense in nearly every possible way. But it has struggled from the first installation to the last. Skill pay is certainly not dead and probably will not die. Somehow businesses don't seem to see a fit with the problems they are facing concerning pay at this time. Perhaps skill pay is just a "good-time" answer that can't stand the test of economic challenge.
