The idea that robots have somehow taken our jobs and we have a surplus of labor is nonsense. A surplus is when you have too much of something. In the US, we have a situation of too little labor; houses are dirty because maids are expensive, professional women quit the workforce because they can't afford child care, and high skill individuals spend lots of time on household labor they don't enjoy. Robots didn't take our jobs.

A bit breathless, but good for perspective. The Grumpy Economist has background on the chart.
