Need a good paying manufacturing job ? Forget it.
Yes basic universal income with digital dollars will be the new normal for people who cannot adapt or conform to new job opportunities. You can take up finger painting or becomes a sport's fan instead.
Now this story is just for manufacturing,not all the other jobs that automation with A.I. will eliminate. Looks like the top 1% will get all the savings with a few more taxes for bread and circuses.

The
rise of the robots will boost productivity and economic growth. And it
will lead to the creation of new jobs in yet-to-exist industries. But
existing business models in many sectors will be seriously disrupted and
millions of existing jobs will be lost. We estimate up to 20 million
manufacturing jobs are set to be lost to robots by 2030.

20 million worldwide, with 14 million in China, leaves a loss of 6 million for the rest of the world. Seems to not be a big problem for the US.

Had a "good paying Manufacturing job." They wiped people out like mad. Out of 21 people I started with back in 2014, it was me and one other guy still there, when I was walked out Nov. 2019.
5 1/2 years was a good run. Glad to be gone. No matter how fast you were working, it was not fast enough. No matter how much work you were getting done, it was not enough. Very fast paced production line for Semi Truck Trailers. (10,500 in one year.)
Safety issues? A Joke, until they wanted to use one to fire you. (Me.) Had complained about the particular issue to "Safety" repeatedly before getting let go. Their response - "We Know."
Employers dont have to provide government mandated healthcare for robots and they dont have to be paid for government mandated FMLA.
Robots also don’t make themselves, program themselves, or fix themselves when they break down.
Those can be some sweet paying gigs.
