I was listening to the presser and got the distinct impression the question was referring to workers who did not have marketable skills. There is absolutely no route using the English language to translate "technology is taking over jobs" in to some comment on technology jobs themselves. The question, and the answer, were directed to unskilled workers in the U.S. who find fewer and fewer opportunities to sell their services for a wage.
In addition, the word "information" should not be implied as a modifier when using the word "technology". Sometimes "technology training" hasn't the slightest connection to the IT sector. Sometimes, there are other worlds out there, beyond programming and system development. Sometimes, there's a s***load of jobs in those worlds, too. Now is one of those times, if anyone would care to look.
