We need to stop thinking like everyone needs a "job", like a factory job or being an employee of a huge corporation. Just because 80-90% of the working population does that today, doesn't mean that's always been the case or that it should always be the case. The Internet and decentralized businesses like the ones enabled by 3D printing will help create a lot of entrepreneurs in the future.
People need to think more in terms of how do I use the "cheap labor" (whether by people, or automatized) to create my own business, and less in terms of "let's ban cheap labor to protect our current jobs".
That being said, we should probably expect some new SOPA-like IP laws supported by the big manufacturing companies that will want to "save jobs" and make such technologies illegal.
