Just to be clear, the premise of this article is that a new wave of unemployment will come sometime “in the next decade or two,” the example given is truck drivers, and the debate is what to do with all these future unemployed truck drivers (specifically, whether to just give them welfare directly or whether to help them find jobs by retraining them).
