Say a factory is fully automated. What low skill jobs have been created? This isn't the same as the invention of the spinning jenny. Unreasoned panic is just as foolish as assuming that things will just sort themselves out for the best.
- jackconnor 8y agoSome blue collar jobs that will be created include: maintaining the factory robots, producing the robots that run the factory, installing the robots that run the factory, and retrofitting old factories to work with new automated systems, lubing up the factory robots and replacing their oil and filters. Not to mention entire industries which will crop up - millions of specialized engineers, automated factory focused marketing firms, new government sectors for people to write regulation for automated robots, etc. The world changes, but we never run out of stuff to do.
