The reality of labor replacement is that low skill workers are likely to be the very last group to be replaced. The reason for that is how low they are paid and how expensive physical manufacturing and upkeep of machines are. Middle management and entry to mid level white collar work are by far the most susceptible. Also, lower end knowledge jobs. Current trends show low skilled workers getting cheaper and raw materials getting more expensive so at least for the near term, low skill worker replacement appears highly unlikely. Much like the late 90's mid and low level computer programers etc will likely be eliminated, or reduced to a low skill job, long before low skill workers are replaced by machines.
