A system that creates a new labor distribution for the US. The system is composed of three random digit generators made of air pumps and colored balls, a cluster of raspberry pi computers, and a dashboard that displays the status of the system and the locations of labor assignments. Random numbers generated by the system are used to select candidates and job assignments from a pool of 30 million Americans.
