No political candidate is going to “fix” the job loss problem due to being obsolete and outdated skill set. No one can stop progress, and if there is a financial benefit to making something faster, cheaper, it will be done…If not by U.S. companies, by some other company or someone else somewhere else. China’s labor cost are already existing those of other nations in the eastern european block and Vietnam, which is why for some time you see factories and corporations setting up shop there now.
If people in this country do not want to accept the fact that those jobs aren’t coming back and they have no choice but to retrain and retool on the “next thing”, there is no politician that can fix this problem. Anyone who claims they can, is lying and simply underestimates the nature of technological advances.
Just look at your local home depot or ralph’s/vons. Instead of hiring 4 cashiers, you now have 4 self checkout stands and 1 person to manage all 4 machines. And personally, I like the self checkout because I can get out of the store a lot quicker than some cashier that wants to make conversation with their customers while checking out.
