The first thing we do is kill all the robots...
If we honestly look at things right now, the only reason these jobs haven't been automated is because we have people so cheap. Even so, in the US, if you strip away the metajobs: service, marketing, entertainment... our infrastructure and creation now is around ten percent of the population. [citation needed.] http://www.yesvirginia.org/Images/charts/EmploymentMajorSector.gif http://www.yesvirginia.org/Images/charts/EmploymentMajorSect... shows 24% of the working population in manufacturing, construction, IT, and educational/health services. This does not count the unemployed and children.
We are hurdling toward a world where fewer than a quarter of the population are required to maintain the society.
