They are now going to have NO job at all because companies aren't going to pay them. They will automate or close up shop.
This is what we all rely on to sell our goods.

The skills required today to get a well-paid job are rising or going East. Many companies that used to do product development in the West, now do it in the East, China has a Space Program, Kia makes cars in China, Mexico, Slovakia, and Vietnam. Can the US plants compete for ever?

They also make planes for Boeing and Airbus in China, how long before more moves East. Employing Chinese at a lower salary?

The days of the Third World only making cheap sweatshirts and plastic cups are gone. Doubt if they will move into the market of big boobs, they'll only destroy the customer base.
