Trump signs executive order withdrawing US from TPP trade deal

Automation creates new kinds of jobs though. I have a job doing search engine evaluation which helps Google and Bing interpret and check their algorithms. This type of job didn't exist 20 years ago. It's time to move on from manufacturing see what jobs have good outlooks and go into those. Like these coal miners are being offered free training to become nurses which there is a huge demand for but many are refusing training because they think coal is coming back

automation tends to eliminate low skill jobs in favor of technical jobs that often requires degrees/certification. the thing is, the laborers that are getting replaced are often pretty old and aren't really in a position at that age to go back to school and adjust.

That's true somewhat but many of these are too proud or stubborn to even try

As for long term any job involving computers didnt exist 50 years ago and not all of them are super highly skilled. Same with phones compared to 100 years ago. People were destroying cotton gins when they first came out for taking their jobs. Nobody knows what kinds of jobs will exist in 50 years so I'm not sold on this robot apocalypse. I mean unemployment is like 4% now

Just wait until the Syria strikes, if any. My gut says the coward backs down on that, especially when Russia threatens him with their bookkeepers.

Trump finally realized that the TPP was a bargaining chip. Just took him a year..

Don't quit your day job.
