which is why functions like IT are what is contracted out to other companies. There are many American IT services contracting companies: IBM, Deloitte, DXC, etc. and many American workers who work there. You might be talking to one online right now.
It's comparable to hiring a firm that specializes in something rather than trying to do it in house. The same way some households would hire a plumber, electrician, locksmith, or construction contractor instead of do it yourself. And there is plenty of need for workers in the skilled trades as every little town across America would need these services. Automation has some impact on trade jobs but there will always be a need for humans to do much of it.
People should go into either STEM or skilled trades. And trade schools are much cheaper than universities.
