There was a story in Forbes recently that talked about how 80% of the manufacturing jobs lost in the US over the last 10 years were lost to automation, not outsourcing.
This is the future. The US economy is now mostly making lower paying service and retail jobs and now many of those jobs are going to be done by robots. It's going to be a wild next 20 years. It will be interesting to see what the country looks like when the dust settles.
