Other Trumped-up jobs...LOL.
My first thought, too. These jobs didn’t get sent overseas and they aren’t coming back. Just another case of tech displacing people in mostly useless, dead-end jobs. I’ve often marveled at the fact they could actually find people willing to sit in a toll booth and collect dirty cash from strangers all the while breathing filthy, horribly polluted air and suffering non-stop noise. What a yuck job.
Now they man the mailrooms of the toll road dunners.

a job is a job and all work has meaning. There are plenty of people who need this sort of work and cannot do much more.
