This is only going to get worse. Just look at a demographic graph, as Boomers retire and Zoomers delay entering the workforce expect a shortfall of millions of people to fill existing white collar jobs, the trades have already been decimated.
- tarr11 4y agoThe birth replacement rate in the United States isn’t sufficient to fill all the jobs, and automation is still decades (or more) away from replacing them as well. I suppose when the pain gets too great than we will consider expanding our immigration policies, as the USA is still considered a favorable immigration destination.

We'll probably see a lot more self-service at stores for example which (depending) I don't really like but if you have to wait 20 minutes in the one open cashier line, I guess you adjust. Repeat for ordering at restaurants, etc. And other tasks just get more expensive and you either just do them yourself, pay more, and/or wait longer.
