I wonder how much of this has to do with automation focused in the areas these men are working in? Especially considering that Blacks and to a lesser extent hispanic people have been more seriously affected than white people, and these people are more likely to be working in blue collar work.

There's a lot going on here. One step closer to a post-scarcity economy? Here's hoping it's that direction and not the direction of starvation, destitution and revolt.
