People need to learn the word "retraining".
Education of any sort is basically free for anyone who wants it in this country. If you lose your job, instead of sitting on your ass collecting unemployment and welfare, go back and learn another trade. My 70 year old father is taking classes (free) at GA Tech so he can keep up with technology. If he can do it, the 40-50 year old laid off IT and plant workers can do it too
There are a lot of things people will always need that can't be outsourced.
