The industrial revolution keeps on destroying low skill jobs, for the benefit of everyone overall. There is always a group of people who lose these jobs initially but in the long term it's never been that big problem for society after about 200 years of doing this. However, it won't hurt to be more proactive in helping people get retrained and move into other kinds of jobs. There is even some opportunity in offering a path for people who lose their jobs in one industry to get trained to work in other industries which has demand. I think the people who suffer the most are those who insist on trying to hold onto a type of job that is disappearing, being the last group to lose their jobs and being behind others when it comes to retraining. I think it's the same as people who refuse to move away from a town when industry there is shutting down.
