>> What disappeared were the unskilled jobs, and they are never coming back, because they are rapidly becoming obsolete. This. To get a job, the new requirement is to be able to do something that a robot can't do. And robots are improving rapidly. Just like steam shovels put ditch diggers out of work, and spreadsheets put human calculators out of work, robots are putting factory workers out of work. As their dexterity and visual abilities improve, and their cost decreases, they'll start taking over other jobs: picking crops, washing dishes and cars, laying bricks, etc. The big question, for which I don't have an answer, is whose problem it is when workers' skills become obsolete.
