Reply to comment by arckeid in North American companies notch another record year for robot orders by darth_nadoma

Lowest unemployment in 50 years, so either the mass layoffs aren't all that massive or the mass hiring is significantly more massive. Either way mass layoffs is not really an accurate representation of the US economy. Inflation is a little high, but so is demand and now inflation is falling but demand is not.

Read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber to understand that the high paid fullfilling jobs are already mostly gone by 2010. What remains are “safety valve” jobs that Capitalists realize they have to create to give something to occupy the minds of the working class because a mind with nothing to work and with spare time to think about its circumstances would be a mortal danger to them.
