The Republican base will be the future unemployed because they are hard headed and tend to stick with failing industries instead of moving with the future. For some reason conservatives think they can stop reality and instead live in their wonderland indefinitely.

This is proven by looking at the Appalachians. The coal industry has been dying for years, it;s not a "new" thing, yet this entire area of the country has continued to try to hang on to a dying income source and not attempted to better their situation but instead now waits for govt hand outs.

It will be the same for truck drivers, the writing is on the wall. Drivers today who are in their 30's will have a tough time staying in that industry until they retire. Drivers in their 40's might have a chance to retire and not need a new industry to jump to but it will likely be the last group. Right now truck driving is the number one employer in this country and that will soon end over the next 20 years.
