I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don’t lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

    Problem is, people want a silver bullet and there just isn’t one.

    You need to create an economy that works for everyone where skilled workers from all professions can be successful. You can’t cram everybody into one job and expect everything to just work out.

    Just about all jobs are important, and all workers deserve a living wage and fair compensation.

    No amount of Band-Aid job stuffing is going to make up for a leadership that doesn’t believe that everyone ought to be able to live a good life.

        That really can’t be correct. Growth adds some jobs for sure, but not as many as you’re implying. While “maintaining” an economy, you still need just as much health care, food production, retail stores, education, road maintenance… I mean just about everything I can think of with the one exception of construction won’t be significantly different in a growth economy.
