One of the industrys that has really changed rapidly is agriculture. Today, tractors really don't need drivers, harvest does need a few people(for now) to drive trucks back and forth from the fields to the processing plant. Dairy is all automated now. In Wis 30 years ago there were 58,000 small farms of 110 acres that milked 40 head 7 days a week. Today there are around 17,000 that are all corporate type operations. You look at anything in the AG business and it's automated.

When the population turned on actually wanting to work for a living, business adapted.
