CBS News has done some good reporting about automation and how it will radically change the modern workplace, and its latest story makes the point that America remains clueless about the approaching jobs disaster.

In 2016, CBS’ Sixty Minutes illustrated the new automated manufacturing to viewers.

The following clip from CBS News discussed an article from Axios.com titled The Coming Jobs Apocalypse with author Steve LeVine. He says, “We’re not prepared at all” for the changes coming to the workplace, also observing, “The biggest takeaway is that the future is now.”

He had a higher estimate for driving jobs than what we usually hear: “There are seven and a half million Americans who rely on driving for their livelihood and remember one other thing — driving has been the traditional route for poor people, for immigrants to make their way into the middle class and and suddenly in the very near future you’re going to see those jobs wiped out.”

So with those millions of jobs disappearing, America needn’t continue to import immigrant workers, right?
