Automation.
In a few years, 90% of these “workers” will be selling apples on the street.
At my local supermarket, there is a robot that just rolls around getting in everyone’s way. That is exactly what it is supposed to be doing. People are getting used to it. There is also this guy who is constantly moving stock from the back room to the shelves. He lines the cans up, filling the front row to make the store look well stocked. He faces the labels forward, checks for out of date products. Everything he does, the robot will do soon. He is doomed. There’s another guy, he brings carts in from the parking lot, picks up trash, straitens out displays.... his job is going away too. The big new position is filling pickup and delivery orders — there are several people doing that now. Soon, 80% of the orders will be picked by robot, and the might need one human to fill out the rest of the order. They don’t wee it, even though it is rolling around, getting in there way, on purpose.
Automation has already cut the service industry in half. Now comes the other half.
