The WSJ has a whole series of articles under the "Unprepared" tag that are pretty horrific. But it's not like they're being alarmist. The situation hasn't changed since the Luddites: technological change destroys jobs. It also makes them. A report during LBJ's presidential term pointed out that technology doesn't impact work, it impacts jobs and that the faster you can get people retrained, the better the whole economy will fare. It also lamented the poor lost souls mining coal in the foothills and what will we do with their poor broke unemployable asses. In 1964. The future belongs to the people who see the change in the weather. For most people, though, "I'm going to go find myself a new career" is a hard goddamn thing to do when your current one is going well and entirely too late when your career is “undergoing digital transformation.”
