Re: FIRE Economy Fallout -- Part I: Recession ends, depression begins
Technology drives this in part. Many jobs in have disappeared because of labor saving devices. The bulk of the jobs that no longer exist did not require any sort of intelligence, ambition, or creativity. These low paying jobs have been marginalized disproportionally because they are the easiest to automate.
As an example I remember an interesting project a few years ago involving warehouse automation. Nobody seemed to concerned with the fate of the forklift drivers.
