We as a people, not just the US are on the verge of a massive job loss world wide..
Real unemployment is high and getting higher. Automation and Globalisation are the key factors. Add mass migration and the future is going to be tough for all but the elite and those offering a personal service to the elite. From hookers to waitresses will be fine. But wages will be low.

This isn't a prediction, it's happening.
