Maybe we need to have a massive war, so we'd be forced to reinstate the draft and thin out their ranks a little. Of course, as many of these men are fat and of poor physical fitness, they would be little more than cannon fodder. |

Not suprising as this country move to a more service based economy and away from production. Recommendation would be what i tell my relatives on the same situation either A. Go to college or B. Learn a trade and even these aren't a guarentee of success. It's tough out here many who say just get a job don't realize jobs aren't falling off trees. |

In fact, with the increase in automation there will even be less jobs out there in the coming years. Anyone who drives/pilots a truck, bus, car, or aircraft for a living is about to lose his/her job in the next 20 years. |

Exactly much like the coal industry is it the govt fault? Or is it just the dark side of progress progress? (Automation or with coal a cleaner way to do what coal does was found) imo thats where getting a trade comes in find the jobs that cant be replaced by someone in another country. As long as there's construction someone will need a crane operator, as long as we have toilets we will always need plumbers etc. The problem is there's more ppl in need of jobs than jobs. Of course there's always entrepreneurship is another option. |

We have a President who said his goal was to have the gov't make them all unemployed. Now I know no one else here will ever go to area's where they have coal miners, democrat snobs on subchat and all, but with automation, new arc furnaces and all, they still have a lot of employees. Who were just laid off in the last few months.However, there is one issue with the service industry as well, that you all have brought up. Service industry will not grow as fast as it could, government mandated wages. Robots really are cheaper. They're using them in China now to save 15 cents per bowl of noodles. |

Coal is very polluting and there's cleaner alternatives than coal it's unfortunate but we owe it to our future generations to leave them a planet thats actually habitable. Hopefully places like West Virginia can find an alternative economy but it's not realistic to keep coal production when theres a better ways to produce energy.I do agree automation will take more and more jobs. Heck i walked into a McDonalds in Manhattan a couple wks ago and had to order off a computer screen. Some restaurants have you order off of tablets. The dark side of progress... |

Which McDonald's was this?I ordered from an automated kiosk at a Jack in the Box in Downtown Los Angeles back in 2009. Much better experience than traditional ordering. I also only order Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts using the app. Five Guys and Panera Bread also have mobile ordering. Anyway, at least for now, they still have a person prepare your order for you. In many restaurants, these are the same people. So this only makes the operation more efficient. |

Bring back the Automats!Although, truth to tell, I'm not certain Automats were so much more labor-efficient than other cafeterias. The food still had to be prepared and monitored since it needed to be continually restocked. And the various devices needed to be serviced. |
