>No one is claiming it is a concern for 2017, no? Some are. If you look at recent-ish job growth you're only seeing part-time and retail growth, or other low paying jobs that have no upward mobility. The good jobs that lead to careers, decent wages, etc have been slowly been made more and more efficient. In the past you'd see a demand for more good jobs but now with all manner of automation its just not happening as much. A IT department just 10 years ago probably needed twice the staff as one does today. AWS/Azure/Whatever cuts out a lot of middle-men, and that's just one example of how things are moving. Every industry is being affected by automation and no, its not going to look like a sterotypical 1950s sci-fi robot. I'd hate to be a recent grad without a super-marketable skill right now.
