That's an agenda that is not working out as well as they have planned. Sure SOME jobs have been replaced but mostly paper pushing office jobs, coding, computer dependent filing jobs for the most part. If you are in the trade and have established connections, there are still a huge demand for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanical & HVAC repair, welders, etc. I'll give you an example; I recently had a very bad leaking old copper water pipe where I had to shut off a valve leading to the kitchen sink. I also had to install another water pressure tank because the old one had been plugged up many times before and had outworn it's usefulness, being over 30 years old and filled with crud and sediment. These water pressure tanks are very heavy and hard to install so I decided I'm not going to bother a DIY job I'm getting it done right and paying for it. After all was done by the plumber and his helper, it cost $750. Now I'm sure there were plenty expenses on their part, but I assure you each made a profit of $150 easy for the job.
