(8,994 posts)I am not declaring a tipping point out of the blue. We have had no major job booms created since the tech crash in 2000. That is the problem that we're facing.
This is different from the typewriter industry losing to computers, and the buggy industry losing to cars. Both situations led to huge new explosions in jobs. Like I said, my employers back in the late 90s were talking about shoveling unemployed people off the streets, we had so many help wanted ads for totally inexperienced people to become tier-1 tech support people, and that's not counting the web design and quality assurance work we had piled up for moderately savvy folks.
Computer manufacturing and auto manufacturing were much the same way. You could come out with a high school education, or less, and jump right into factory work.
Where do you see that happening now? See what I mean?
Please, the next time you respond, tell us where the job boom is happening.
