Look up "comparative advantage", in the context of the economics of trade, and you'll see that it makes perfect sense.

Whatever factory work can be automated will / should be automated. That will reduce costs and prices. Pretty basic. Young people take note.

I am reminded of a Twilight Zone where a boss relishes in others becoming obsolete and finds himself out of a job in the end. The show with the raised podium.

So job threats from automation is not limited to factory workers. all sorts of job functions will increasingly be turned over to machines and robots. Brave new world.
