Look everyone, jobs/immigration really isn’t a dire situation. If people weren’t able to find work, housing costs wouldn’t be rising and people would be fleeing high cost areas. For well over 100 years now, the rules have been the same: adapt or perish.
Think about the industrial revolution where the types of jobs available and where they were at changed drastically. It caused severe turmoil for decades. I can point to era after era where similar things have occurred.
If I follow the trajectory of my childhood friends, I see that those who got a college degree and could handle the corporate world live in major cities and are able to afford to buy a house and live comfortably. Those who got a college degree but couldn’t take the daily 9 to 5 became self-employed or free-lancers…they live in the burbs or even a little farther out where they could afford to buy a house and commute in when they have to. Those that didn’t get a degree live in low-cost rural areas, typically close to job centers that support those low-cost areas such as factories and agriculture, and bought homes in these low-cost areas. I bet this framework continues, with or without immigration. And with or without technology changing the workplace.
They key is the same as it has always been. Adapt or perish.
