One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to see that technology does in fact replace jobs. Just 50 years ago, it required a team of 25 to 35 men with sledgehammer & shovel and a grader pulled by horses to create a country road or driveway -- and it took an entire week to complete the job. Today, that same task can be done in just a day or two by ONE individual with a bulldozer. One can spout lots of meaningless catch-phrases and convoluted explanations to attempt to prove otherwise, but it doesn't change the fact that innovation deletes jobs. Just think about it for a moment... If a bulldozer did not significantly reduce the time & cost of producing a road, then the bulldozer would have never been invented. There would have been no incentive for using one.
That is the core of the problem, yes. But, lots of luck to you if you get anyone in mainstream media or high academic standing to admit it -- let alone to talk about it or anything closely related.
