The machines turned what was once skilled labor into low skill factory jobs with low wages to match.

The machines also turned unskilled labor into skilled labor with higher wages to match.

Obama blamed the loss of jobs on machines like ATMs replacing bank tellers. So who designs and makes the ATM machines? Increased automation actually creates the need for more skilled workers and less need for the unskilled. Our highest unemployment levels are for those having the least education.
